Super Absorbent Dressings: Super Absorbent Polymers bind drainage and convert it to a gel. These dressings hold more fluid, lock fluid inside the dressing, helping to decrease the risk of maceration and keep the harmful wound fluid components away from the wound and peri-wound skin. Contains protective outer layer and non-adherent wound contact layer for easy removal. Can be used as a primary or secondary dressing for moderate to heavy exudate.
Indications: Primary dressing or secondary dressing for partial thickness or full thickness wounds. Use when there is moderate to large amounts of drainage and extra absorbency is needed to help better manage the fluid and decrease the frequency of dressing changes. Excellent dressing for use under compression for heavily draining venous leg ulcers.
Contraindications: Patients with a known hypersensitivity to the product itself or to its components. Not for use in tunneling wound pockets as the dressing can expand considerably when wound exudates are absorbed. Not for use on wounds with little to no exudates, as this may cause drying out of the wound.
Recommended Secondary Dressings: Elastic net retainer dressing or conforming bandage. Medical adhesive tape should not be used.
