How do Absorbent Dressings work?

• Absorbent dressings are multi-layered and made up of a blend of highly absorptive layers of cellulose/cotton/rayon fibers with either a non-adherent or semi-adherent layer.
• The non-adherent layer minimizes adherence to the wound bed therefore leaving the wound undisturbed and allowing it to heal faster.
• These exudate-absorbing dressings maintain a moist wound environment at the right level so as to promote healing.
• They remove the exudate away from the skin surface through rapid, vertical wicking action and flick into the super absorbent polymers.
• The exudate collects in the core thus shielding the wound edge from the risk of maceration.
• External fluid is repelled and strike-through is prevented.
