How do Absorbent Dressings work?
- Absorbent dressings are multi-layered and made up of a blend of highly absorptive layers of cellulose/cotton/rayon fibers with either a non-adherent or semi-adherent layer.
- The non-adherent layer minimizes adherence to the wound bed therefore leaving the wound undisturbed and allowing it to heal faster.
- These exudate-absorbing dressings maintain a moist wound environment at the right level so as to promote healing.
- They remove the exudate away from the skin surface through rapid, vertical wicking action and flick into the super absorbent polymers.
- The exudate collects in the core thus shielding the wound edge from the risk of maceration.
- External fluid is repelled and strike-through is prevented.
