Mextra Superabsorbent Dressings Mextra Superabsorbent Dressings are designed for moderately to heavily exuding wounds. They absorb wound exudate through the wound contact layer & retain the exudate within the core, minimising the risk for maceration. The fluid-repellent nonwoven backing acts as a barrier & prevents exudate strike-through. Mextra Superabsorbent Dressings have a unique 4 layer construction that work in a precise sequence to deliver optimal performance & patient comfort: Fluid acquisition: A hydrophilic wound contact layer transmits fluid upwards. Distributing & directing: A distribution layer with rapid fluid uptake distributes evenly upwards into the absorbent layer. Maximum absorption & retention: At its core is the absorbent layer that comprises the optimal amounts of cotton fibres, bonding fibres & superabsorbent particles that bring about outstanding absorption & retention. The absorbent layer does not become bulky or disintegrate upon exudate absorption. Protection & comfort: The fluid repellent backing layer minimises fluid strike through & its vapour permeable qualities improve exudate management. The dressing remains dry & comfortable for the patient. Mextra Superabsorbent Dressings are available in 6 sizes, all in packs of 10: 10cm x 10cm, 10cm x 15cm, 10cm x 20cm, 15cm x 20cm, 20cm x 25cm & 20cm x 30cm.
