Xtrasorb Super Absorbent Non-Adhesive Foam Dressings are composed of two layers: a wound contact layer of polyurethane hydrophilic foam and a second layer of a patented super-absorbent copolymer sheet. Polymer technology is used in the dressing to draw fluid to the back of the dressing and convert it to a gel.
Xtrasorb Non-Adhesive Dressing decreases the risk of periwound skin maceration by directing exudate to the back of the dressing, away from the wound site. The dressings are intended to improve patient care and clinical efficiency.
Features:
- Two to four times greater absorption than standard foam dressings
- Keeps wound fluid from entering the wound and surrounding skin
- SAP outer layer adds cushioning and pressure distribution
- High-tensile, strength gelling, super-absorbent polymer technology is used
- Allows for fewer dressing changes, leaving the fragile wound bed relatively untouched
- A typical, extremely absorbent, hydrophilic polyurethane foam with a patented, super-absorbent polymer sheet fused to the back of the foam
Xtrasorb Foam Dressing may be used for pressure, venous, arterial and neuropathic ulcers, post-operative and traumatic wounds and donor sites.
