How to use Mextra® Superabsorbent
Clean the wound area and select a suitable
size of Mextra® Superabsorbent.
Apply Mextra® Superabsorbent directly
on the wound area with the white side
of the dressing onto the wound. For
best results, the pad should overlap
the dry surrounding skin by at least
2cm. Mepitel® or Mepitel® One can also
be used in conjunction with Mextra®
Superabsorbent.
Areas of use
Secure Mextra® Superabsorbent with
a suitable bandage such as Tubifast®
bandage or a fixation tape. It can
also be used under a compression
bandage where appropriate.
Four layer construction
Mextra® Superabsorbent is intended for use on
moderately to highly exuding wounds. Mextra®
Superabsorbent absorbs wound exudate through
the wound contact layer, retains within the core and
minimizes the risk of maceration. The fluid-repellent
nonwoven backing acts as an exudate barrier and
prevents exudate strike-through.
