Maxorb II Silver Calcium Alginate Dressing | 4" x 4"
Medline
The Medline Maxorb II Silver Calcium Alginate Dressing is a high-performance wound care solution designed to manage moderate to heavily exuding wounds effectively. This advanced dressing, measuring 4 inches by 4 inches, combines the powerful benefits of calcium alginate and ionic silver, offering superior wound management and antimicrobial protection. The Maxorb II dressing is particularly suitable for wounds that require both excellent absorption and bacterial control, making it ideal for various clinical settings.
Key Features:
- High Absorbency: The Maxorb II Silver Calcium Alginate Dressing has a unique combination of high M (mannuronic acid) and G (guluronic acid) alginates, which provides superior absorption capacity. This dressing effectively absorbs and retains wound exudate, reducing the risk of maceration and maintaining a moist wound environment conducive to healing.
- Antimicrobial Protection: The ionic silver in the dressing offers broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against a wide range of bacteria, including MRSA and VRE. This protection helps reduce the risk of infection in wounds, promoting a safer healing process.
- Comfortable and Conformable: The soft, non-woven texture of the Maxorb II dressing conforms closely to the wound bed, providing a comfortable fit for the patient. The dressing can be easily cut to fit different wound shapes and sizes, ensuring optimal coverage and protection.
- Biodegradable Composition: Made from natural fibers, the Maxorb II dressing is biodegradable, minimizing its impact on the environment. The dressing is designed to gel upon contact with wound fluid, facilitating gentle removal and reducing trauma to the healing tissue.
- Long-Lasting Wear Time: Due to its high absorbency and sustained silver release, the Maxorb II dressing can be left in place for up to seven days, depending on the wound condition and level of exudate. This extended wear time minimizes dressing changes, reduces disruption to the wound bed, and promotes faster healing.
Intended Use:
The Medline Maxorb II Silver Calcium Alginate Dressing is ideal for managing moderate to heavily exuding wounds such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, donor sites, and surgical wounds. Its antimicrobial properties make it particularly suitable for wounds at high risk of infection.
