How It Works:

• This unique biocellulose dressing is able to absorb exudate and release moisture providing HydroBalance and optimum moist wound healing environment. Surplus exudate is taken up from the wound into the dressing.
• Moisture is released from the dressing into the wound. Microorganisms are killed by the released PHMB Suprasorb® X+PHMB enhances tissue health and hydrates the surrounding skin.
• Old epithelial cells will be rehydrated and may appear as white deposits, which should not be confused with maceration. These deposits can be easily removed.
• The dressing will discolour as it absorbs exudate, and should be changed before the discolouration has reached a distance of approximately 1cm within the edge of the dressing.
• PHMB is an antimicrobial agent known aspolyhexamethylene biguanide or polyhexanide. It has a good biocompatibility index score meaning it is extremely effective, whilst having low toxicity.
