Page: Maxorb Extra

Key Benefits

  • Highly absorbent
    Maxorb Extra’s combination of non-woven alginate and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) fiber is more absorbent than other alginate dressings.
  • Fluid will not wick laterally
    Wound exudate mixes with Maxorb Extra to form a gel that will not wick out, reducing the potential for damage to peri-wound skin.
  • Superior gelling and fluid handling
    The presence of CMC improves the gelling and fluid handling ability as well as adds improved wet strength.
  • Easy dressing changes
    Simple, one-piece removal eases dressing changes.
