Relevo Product Properties –
functionality – Vertical Wicking
• Relevo absorbs exudate and
wound secretions, still keeping a
moist wound environment in the
wound area.
• As stagnant liquids will be
absorbed, the wound healing
process will be supported.
• The liquid will be bound inside the
dressing, which will not leak or drip.
• The dressing will also absorb well
under compression.
• The performance contributes to
less changes, which gives the
wound longer resting periods, and
a more cost effective treatment, as
well as less pain to the patient.
Relevo Product Properties –
• Relevo Dressing is a super absorbent compress.
Wound exudate is transformed into a gel inside
the dressing and cannot affect the wound
surface in any unfavourable way, or soften the
area around the wound. It will stay dry on the
surface and eliminate any odour from the
wound.
• Relevo is made from cellulose and super
absorbent polymers, with a cover of
polypropylene
• Product disposal is – normal waste, combustion
from carbon dioxide and water
