Description
Maxorb Extra Alginate Wound Dressings represent advanced wound care technology in convenient 4x4 inch sterile dressings. This 10-count package provides healthcare professionals and caregivers with highly absorbent, biocompatible dressings ideal for moderate to heavily exudating wounds. The alginate fibers are derived from natural seaweed and form a soft gel when in contact with wound exudate, creating a moist healing environment that promotes faster recovery. Maxorb Extra offers superior absorption capacity, holding up to 20 times its weight in fluid while maintaining structural integrity. These dressings are particularly effective for chronic wounds, surgical sites, pressure ulcers, and diabetic wounds. The natural hemostatic properties help control minor bleeding, while the gel formation provides a protective barrier against bacteria. The dressings conform easily to wound contours and can be cut to size for custom applications. Maxorb is recognized for producing high-quality wound care products that meet stringent medical standards. These alginate dressings are biodegradable and can be safely removed without damaging newly formed tissue, reducing patient discomfort during dressing changes.
Suggested Use
Clean wound area with appropriate wound cleanser. Apply dressing directly to wound bed, ensuring complete coverage. Cover with appropriate secondary dressing. Change when dressing becomes saturated or as directed by healthcare provider, typically every 1-3 days depending on exudate levels.
