Suprasorb Liquacel Hydroactive Fibre Dressing is an alginate dressing
INTENDED USES: For the care of acute and chronic superficial or deep wounds with low to high levels of exudate; Indications: lower leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, 2nd degree burns, lacerations, cuts and abrasions, traumatic wounds and wounds with a tendency to bleed, e.g. after surgical or mechanical debridement, skin graft donor sites; Wound healing stages:
Exudation phase, Granulation phase
CLAIMED BENEFITS: Suprasorb Liquacel reduces the risk of maceration by vertically absorbing and transferring exudate to the secondary dressing. Suprasorb Liquacel gels on contact with wound exudate, trapping exudate, debris and bacteria. As Suprasorb Liquacel is easy to cut when dry, it is easy to apply/pack. It is equally simple to remove. When moist, Suprasorb Liquacel can be readily removed in one piece. This minimises the risk of dressing residue being left in the wound.
