XTRASORB is a line of novel super-absorbent wound dressings. The core super-absorbent polymer technologies dramatically improve the capabilities of the dressings versus conventional moist wound dressings. Whereas other absorbent dressings (including foams, abd pads, and other cellulose-based dressings) rely on spaces within the dressings to fill with fluid, XTRASORB's super-absorbent polymers bind fluid and convert it to a gel. The distinct advantages this offers over traditional first-line dressings are:
XTRASORB dressings are able to hold more fluid
XTRASORB dressings lock fluid inside the dressing, helping to decrease the risk of maceration
XTRASORB dressings lock fluid inside the dressing, helping to keep the harmful contents within wound fluid away from the wound & periwound skin
The dressings can be used on an assortment of chronic and acute wounds including:
- Pressure Ulcers
- Diabetic Foot Ulcers
- Donor Sites
- Venous Leg Ulcers
- Post-Operative Wounds
- Arterial Ulcers
- Traumatic Wounds
