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