Description
Vliwasorb® super absorbent dressings save time and money by reducing dressing changes and promoting wound healing through better exudate management. Improved exudate management increases patient comfort, concordance, and improves quality of life. The Vliwasorb product portfolio consists of a variety of adhesive border and nonadhesive dressings to better manage challenging wounds of all types.
Indications:
Vliwasorb is indicated for the management of acute and chronic wounds with moderate to high levels of exudate, including:
- diabetic foot ulcers
- venous leg ulcers
- pressure ulcers
- postoperative wounds healing by secondary intention
Vliwasorb dressings utilize a superabsorbent polymer fiber core to absorb its own weight in liquid multiple times over. At the same time, to prevent infection, each Vliwasorb dressing holds onto retained exudate, even under mechanical pressure, to protect the wound’s edges from maceration.
Benefits
Vliwasorb dressings combine an absorbent pad made with polyethylene, polypropylene, cellulose, and sodium polyacrylate and include a polyurethane membrane backing layer with polyacrylate adhesive that won’t irritate the skin. Each pad:
• Offers a high degree of absorption for its size, thanks to a superabsorbent core that can hold 20 times its weight.
• Allows for fewer dressing changes, which results in lower costs and longer wear and lets the wound rest and heal.
• Reduces infection risks, by holding onto all microbes present in the wound.
• Creates a moist healing environment that further facilitates the wound cleansing process, including sloughing debris.
• Offers a thin, cushioning and flexible construction that won’t stick the wound and can be worn under a compression bandage.
Usage
Vliwasorb helps with healing and managing moderate- to heavy-exudate wounds, including:
• Chronic and acute wounds
• Postoperative wounds
• Pressure ulcers
• Venous leg ulcers
• Diabetic foot ulcers
Product composition
The absorbent pad consists of a super absorbent fiber core, cellulose, and a wound contact layer made of a perforated polyethylene film. The backing layer, the blue non-woven protecting layer, consists of thermally bonded polypropylene fibers.
