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.
