Superabsorbents

365 SuperAbsorbent

Multilayer sterile, superabsorbent dressing comprising a low-adherent contact mesh layer, a superabsorbent core, and a permeable, water-resistant backing layer. 

ConvaMax Superabsorber

ConvaMax Superabsorber

A superabsorber dressing that manages high levels of exudate, to maintain skin integrity and support healing by absorbing exudate through the skin contact layer, into the core which contains superabsorbent polymers where it locks the exudate into a gel. This means the fluid is retained, even under compression.

CovaWound SuperAbsorbent

CovaWound SuperAbsorbent

A multilayer dressing comprising a soft polyethylene, non-adherent, hydrophilic wound contact layer, a polyurethane foam with superabsorbent polymer (SAP) core and a non-woven fibre top layer. The non-adherent hydrophilic wound contact layer enables fluid transmission through to the SAP core. 

 

C-Sorb

C-Sorb

Multi-layered superabsorbent non-adhesive dressing to manage exudate and minimise maceration. Comprises soft contact layer, superabsorbent polymer core to lock away bacteria, and fluid-repellent backing.

C-Sorb Silicone

C-Sorb Silicone

Superabsorbent dressing comprising a fluid-repellent backing that prevents strike-through for patient comfort and safety; a gentle silicone contact layer that allows free flow of fluids to the dressing while maintaining stable fixation and enabling pain-free removal; a fast-wicking layer that offers even absorption; and a superabsorbent polymer (SAP) core that locks away bacteria and matrix metalloproteinases.

Cutimed Sorbion Sana Gentle

Atraumatic, Hydration Response Technology (HRT), absorbent dressing with advanced, three-dimensional, non-adherent polyethelene wound contact layer. Hypoallergenic. Effective under compression.

DryMax Blue

Sterile, conformable, superabsorbent dressing. Exudate is absorbed vertically by the dressing and retained in the Absorbest core to form a gel. A white hydrophilic wound contact layer transports fluid away from the wound and distributes it evenly into the  core. The dressing's blue hydrophobic backing reduces the risk of wound fluid strikethrough. 

DryMax Border

Sterile, bordered superabsorbent dressing with a silicone wound contact layer for fixation. Exudate is transported away from the wound area into the Absorbest core. Gentle silicone border allows for easy application and repositiioning.

DryMax Super

Sterile, conformable, superabsorbent dressing. Absorbs exudate vertically in the dressing and retains it in the core to form a gel. 

Eclypse

Eclypse
