Derma Xtrasorb Adhesive Foam Dressing

Derma Xtrasorb Adhesive Foam Dressing provides a marked advancement to standard polyurethane foam dressings. Through a strong osmotic pull, this sheet takes fluid that enters the foam and wicks it to the back of the dressing, converting it to a gel. This locks fluid away from the wound bed, decreasing the risk of maceration and decreasing the time that wound fluid and its components (including MMPs) are in contact with the wound and surrounding skin. The dressing itself can absorb more than twice the fluid and retains a significant amount of the fluid within the dressing, even under compression.
