Dressing for highly exuding wounds
Mextra Superabsorbent
Superabsorbent wound dressing with extra fluid handling capacity for exuding wounds
Mextra® Superabsorbent wound dressing delivers high fluid absorption and retention 1 2. You can rely on it to help treat highly exuding wounds such as venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and some pressure ulcers.
The high fluid handling capacity avoids leakage and reduces the risk of maceration 1. And it can lower dressing change frequency, to help you reduce treatment costs 1.
The soft border seal makes it easily conformable 3 – you'll find it easy to work with. Plus it’s comfortable for your patients. It maintains its structure and integrity without becoming bulky once exudate is absorbed 1.
- High fluid handling capacity 1 2
- The dressing is soft and conformable 2
- Protects the periwound area 1
- Has protease modulating properties 1 3
