Mölnlycke Mextra® Superabsorbent Superabsorbent Wound Dressing sterile, 20 x 25 cm copy, 10 ST

The Mölnlycke Mextra® Superabsorbent offers excellent fluid management for heavily exuding wounds. It binds wound fluid securely in the core and thus protects the wound edge from maceration.

Mextra® Superabsorbent absorbs fluids quickly. This high absorption and retention capacity for fluids minimises the risk of maceration. Mextra® can be used for moderately to heavily exuding wounds, e.g. chronic wounds such as leg ulcers, venous leg ulcers under pressure dressings and chronic wounds such as pressure ulcers.

Mextra® can be used together with primary dressings such as Mepitel®, Mepitel® One, Fibre Dressing or Melgisorb® Plus.

Mextra® has a water-repellent and breathable top layer that protects against soaking. The top layer prevents liquid from leaking out and protects clothing and bed linen from soiling.

Mextra® Superabsorbent is a superabsorbent dressing with a liquid-repellent top layer, a middle layer of superabsorbent particles and a non-woven wound contact layer. Mextra Superabsorbent absorbs the wound exudate via the wound contact layer, retains the fluid in its core and thus reduces the risk of maceration. The fluid-repellent cover fleece acts as a barrier and prevents exudate from seeping through.

Mextra Superabsorbent consists of:

• A non-woven wound contact layer
• An absorbent pad layer made of superabsorbent particles
• A breathable cover fleece

Application/indication

• Mextra® Superabsorbent is suitable for the treatment of moderately to heavily exuding wounds.

Application

Mextra Superabsorbent can also be used by laypersons under the supervision of healthcare professionals.

Mextra Superabsorbent can also be used in conjunction with compression therapy for venous leg ulcers.
