Giving you confidence to leave the dressing on for longer and still maintain an optimal wound healing environment.
1. Rapid absorption with minimal swelling:
The foam layer allows rapid absorption of both normal and viscous exudate and it is better at handling exudate than comparable dressings .

2. Maximises capacity by channelling exudate:
Exudate is channelled away from the wound
and over a wider area to increase moisture vapour loss and reduce swelling .

The Exufiber® Effect
It is time for change
Highly exuding wounds are challenging to treat. Clinicians may see exudate pooling, slough and delayed healing due to the presence of biofilm. Patients may feel pain, embarrassment and anxiety from leakage. That is why we are looking at gelling fibres differently. Providing a wound healing solution that clinicians want to see and that patients can feel.
