BX/10 - Molnlycke Mextra® Superabsorbent Dressing, 5" x 9"
Manufacturer #: 610200

Mextra® Superabsorbent is a non-adhesive dressing, suitable for the management of wounds with moderate to high volumes of exudate. Mextra® Superabsorbent’s unique four-layer construction works in a precise sequence to deliver optimal performance. The first hydrophilic wound contact layer quickly attracts and absorbs fluid, transmitting it evenly into the second, polyester and viscose non-woven distribution layer. The third absorbent layer is made of a structured balance of superabsorbent particles and fibers. While the former absorbs fluid and transforms it into a gel, the cellular fibers enable the rest of the fluid to flow through the superabsorbent particles. This layer also stops the dressing from becoming too bulky and prevents the periwound skin from becoming macerated as a result of fluid leakage. The final layer is the fluid repellent backing, which is vapor permeable so that fluid can evaporate through it. This layer also minimizes strikethrough and remains dry, thus promoting patient comfort and protecting the periwound skin from tissue damage.
