How super absorbent dressing works
Advanced absorption mechanism
You want your wound to heal quickly and feel good. Superabsorbent dressings help with this. The Alexer® Super Absorbent Dressing Silicone Adherent has many layers. The special core holds exudate and keeps the wound dry. This means less mess and more comfort.
-
The dressing pulls exudate away from the wound. It holds it in a safe layer.
-
The foam layer collects exudate and moves it away. It stops leaks from coming back to your skin.
-
The backing protects against bacteria. It keeps fluid from drying out.
-
The soft silicone mesh lets you take off the dressing gently.
Superabsorbent dressings work better than regular foam dressings. They hold more fluid and lower infection risk. High-absorbency wound dressings like Alexer® help you control exudate and keep your wound safe.
