Medline Maxorb Wound Dressing Features
- Highly Absorbent: Combination of non-woven alginate and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) fiber is far more absorbent than other alginate dressings.
- No Lateral Wicking: Wound exudate mixes with Maxorb Extra to form a gel that will not wick out, thereby reducing the potential for damage to peri-wound skin.
- Superior Gelling And Fluid Handling: Presence of CMC in Maxorb Extra improves the gelling and fluid handling ability as well as adds improved wet strength.
- Easy Dressing Changes: Simple, one-piece removal helps simplify dressing changes.
