Maxorb Extra CMC-Alginate Dressings are designed to deliver advanced wound care for moderate to heavily draining wounds. Combining non-woven alginate and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) fibers, this innovative dressing forms a gel upon contact with wound exudate, maintaining a moist environment that promotes optimal healing. Compared to earlier versions, Maxorb Extra provides 25% more loft and fluid handling capacity, making it a superior choice for effective wound management. Its enhanced fluid control minimizes lateral fluid wicking, helping protect surrounding skin and improving patient comfort with fewer dressing changes.
