Superabsorbent Dressing

Superabsorbent Dressing

Superabsorbent dressing is a sterile, superabsorbent wound dressing for use on wounds with high to excessive amounts of exudate. The dressing consists of a white, superabsorbent core, a clear, perforated, polyethylene film wound contact layer and a white, hydrophobic nonwoven backing, which together help minimize moisture leakage. The dressing absorbs exudate while helping maintain a moist wound environment and is also effective under pressure. Fluids are absorbed and retained within the dressing. In addition, the high absorbency of the product helps increase dressing change intervals.

Typical Application

Designed for chronic or secondary healing wounds with high to excessive exudate levels, such as venous and arterial leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers.
