Maxorb® Extra Ag
Maxorb® Extra Ag sustains antimicrobial protection and releases silver ions, in the presense of wound fluid, for up to 21 days.
Highly absorbent Maxorb Extra Ag absorbs more than other alginate or absorbent silver dressings.
Fluid will not wick laterally.
Wound exudate mixes with Maxorb Extra Ag to form a gel that will not wick out, reducing the potential for damage to periwound skin.
Superior gelling and fluid handlingThe CMC fiber in Maxorb Extra Ag improves the vertical wicking and fluid handling as well as the wet strength.
Reduces odorOdor in wounds is primarily caused by bacteria, and so by providing an antibacterial barrier to combat bacteria absorbed in the wound exudate, odor is reduced.
