Areas of use
Mextra Superabsorbent is intended for use on moderately to highly exuding wounds. Mextra Superabsorbent absorbs wound exudate through the wound contact layer, retains the exudate within the core, and thereby could reduce the risk of maceration. The fluid-repellent nonwoven backing acts as an exudate barrier and prevents exudate strike-through.
Frequency of change
The wound and Mextra Superabsorbent should be inspected regularly. The dressing should be changed based on the condition of the wound or before the dressing has become saturated. Mextra Superabsorbent may be left on the wound for several days.
