VLIWASORB SUPERABSORBENT DRESSING 10 X 10CM 10'S

Description

Superabsorber polymers absorb many times their own weight in fluids and do not release
the retained exudate even under mechanical pressure. This is how the wound margins are
protected from maceration. Vliwasorb can be used to excellent effect under compression
bandages.

Vliwasorb saves time and money because of the low number of dressing changes
required. Fewer dressing changes mean the wound can be left undisturbed for a
longer time. Risk of infection is reduced by absorbing and binding the pathogens in
the wound dressing. Wound cleansing is achieved by the absorption of exudate,
slough and cell debris and wound healing assisted by the moist wound environment.

Fields of application

• heavily exuding wounds
• superficial wounds in the exudation phase
• postoperative wound healing by secondary intention
• laparotomy wounds
• fistulas
