ConvaMax Superabsorber – Silicone Adhesive

ConvaMax™ superabsorber wound dressing is used for the management of highly exuding wounds, including leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and dehisced surgical wounds.

ConvaMax™ superabsorber manages excess moisture to help protect skin integrity. Where there is a real risk of skin damage due to high levels of exudate, ConvaMax™ is ideal. It is available in non-adhesive and silicone adhesive forms, providing complete flexibility to support your care protocol. This includes under compression bandaging or with an additional primary dressing.

When ConvaMax™ works best

Where there is a real risk of skin damage due to high levels of exudate, ConvaMax™ is ideal. It is available in non-adhesive and silicone adhesive forms, providing complete flexibility to support your care protocol. This includes pressure bandaging or the use of an additional primary dressing.

Non-Adhesive, ideal for use on:
• Deeper wounds which require a primary dressing, for example a deep diabetic foot ulcer.
• Tunnelling or sinus wounds, with high levels of exudate that need packing.
• Macerated peri-wound, where exudate needs to be absorbed quickly.

Silicone Adhesive, ideal for use on:
• Shallow wounds that don’t require an additional primary dressing, like shallow venous leg ulcers.
• Friable peri-wound skin that is liable to tear, such as elderly skin or areas of excoriation.
• Weeping oedema where the skin is likely to stick to dressings.

High fluid absorption
Exudate from chronic wounds can be corrosive to the wound bed and intact skin. ConvaMax™ absorbs high levels of exudate into the Superabsorbent (SAP) core (up to 170g/100cm2) locking it away from the wound and helping to promote skin integrity.

Extra protection
ConvaMax™ can be used as a primary or secondary dressing. When an additional primary dressing is required, it may be used with Hydrofiber® dressing such as AQUACEL® EXTRA™. Exudate can transfer through the Hydrofiber® layer and be absorbed by ConvaMax™, providing a combination of an advanced wound contact layer and high absorption capacity.

High retention of fluid and bacteria
Once exudate has been absorbed, ConvaMax™ retains the fluid within the SAP core, ensuring it is not released back to the wound, bandaging or clothing

Soft and conformable
It’s soft on the skin, easy to apply and easy to remove for patient satisfaction. The protective blue backing prevents strike through and maintains conformability.
Choosing a dressing that effectively manages the exudate level of the wound can result in extended wear time, producing a positive impact on wastage and costs, and may also help with healing
