INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES XTRASORB® FOAM SUPER ABSORBENT DRESSING

A novel, super absorbent foam dressing. It comprises a standard, highly absorptive, hydrophilic, polyurethane foam dressing, with a patented, super absorbent polymer sheet fused to the back side of the foam. This allows for significantly more fluid to be handled by the dressing. Additionally, the fluid is locked within the super absorbent sheet, keeping it away from the wound and surrounding tissue. This can help to reduce maceration and exposure to the harmful components of wound fluid.
