Key Benefits
- Sustained antimicrobial protection
Releases silver ions, in the presence of wound fluid, for up to 21 days. - Highly absorbent
Maxorb Extra Ag+ absorbs more than other alginate or absorbent silver dressings. - Fluid will not wick laterally
Wound exudate mixes with dressing to form a gel that will not wick out, reducing the potential for damage to periwound skin. - Superior gelling and fluid handling
The CMC fiber improves the vertical wicking and fluid handling as well as the wet strength. - Reduces odor
By providing an antibacterial barrier to combat bacteria absorbed in the wound exudate, odor is reduced.
