Super Absorbent Dressings / Absorbent Dressings
Absorbent dressings can retain immense amounts of exudate, and are therefore used for wounds with a lot of drainage. These dressings keep the wound appropriately moist to encourage healing, and whisk exudate away from the wound, and into the dressing. Absorbent dressings are often designed with multiple absorptive layers, which absorb exudate, and also protect the wound from harmful bacteria (by absorbing the bacteria into the dressing). Using an absorbent dressing reduces the frequency of necessary dressing changes. Shop the best absorbent and superabsorbent dressings on AvaCare Medical now! Read More...
