Description
Mextra Superabsorbent absorbs wound exudate through the wound contact layer, retains the exudate within the core and minimises the risk for maceration. The fluid-repellent nonwoven backing acts as a barrier and prevents exudate strike-through.
Mextra Superabsorbent is intended for use on moderately to heavily exuding wounds
Mextra® Superabsorbent’s unique 4 layer construction (see image) works in a precise sequence to deliver optimal performance. At its core is the absorbent layer that comprises the optimal amounts of fibres and superabsorbent particles that bring about outstanding absorption and retention. The absorbent layer does not become bulky or disintegrate upon exudate absorption. The dressing remains dry and comfortable for the patient.
- Excellent absorption and retention
- Maintains integrity and is not bulky
- Outer layer remains dry
- Provides comfort for patients
- Has protease modulating activities*
By precisely combining the four different layers of the unique construction, Mextra® Superabsorbent delivers its optimal absorption, retention and breathability performance you and your patients need.
1. Fluid Acquisition
A hydrophilic wound contact layer transmits fluid upwards.
2. Distributing and directing
Distribution layer with rapid fluid uptake distributes evenly upwards into the absorbent layer.
3. Maximum absorption & retention
At its core is the absorbent layer that comprises the optimal amounts of cotton fibres, bonding fibres and superabsorbent particles that bring about outstanding absorption and retention.
4. Protection and comfort
The fluid repellent backing layer minimises fluid strike through – and its vapour permeable qualities improve exudate management.
