ConvaMax Superabsorber Wound Dressing promotes the healing and protection of skin from excess fluids. The dressing also promotes the retention of bacteria. Ideal for use as a primary or secondary dressing, this ConvaTec product is designed to help prevent skin erosion and infection caused by high exudation.
The dressing uses three different layers to absorb and keep away exudate: a protective backing, a super-absorbent core, and a conformable wicking layer. Additionally, using Hydrofiber technology and the super-absorbent core, this flexible wound care product keeps in fluid and flexibility while under compression therapy, which is when someone is put under pressure with a device to recover from an injury. Compatible with ConvaTec Aquacel Foam dressings, ConvaMax Exudate Superabsorber comes in either non-adhesive or silicone adhesive packaging.
