Frequently asked questions
Does this dressing work for heavily draining wounds?
Yes, the Maxorb II is specifically designed for moderate to heavily draining wounds. Its 100% calcium alginate composition provides excellent fluid uptake to handle significant exudate.
Will this help prevent skin irritation around the wound?
Absolutely. A key feature of this dressing is its vertical wicking action, which draws moisture directly away from the wound bed into the dressing. This process protects the surrounding periwound skin from maceration caused by excess moisture.
How often should I change this dressing?
The Maxorb II is engineered for efficiency and can be left in place for up to seven days, depending on the specific wound assessment and protocol. This extended wear time minimizes wound disturbance and frequency of changes.
Do I need another bandage to hold this in place?
Yes, it is recommended to use a secondary cover dressing over the Maxorb II to secure it in place, as this is a primary wound contact layer.
Are these dressings sterile?
Yes, all Maxorb II dressings are provided in sterile individual pouches, maintaining the medical-grade safety standards required for wound care.
Does this dressing turn into a gel during use?
Yes. Upon contact with wound drainage, the 100% calcium alginate fibers transform into a soft gel. This gel formation creates an ideal moist environment that supports natural healing processes.
Is this dressing suitable for both partial and full-thickness wounds?
Yes, it is specifically indicated for the management of both partial- and full-thickness wounds that have moderate to heavy drainage.
Can I use this for home healthcare?
Yes, the Maxorb II is highly suitable for both clinical settings and home healthcare environments where professional-grade specialized wound management is necessary.
What is the material composition?
The dressing is made of 100% calcium alginate, a high-quality material chosen for its superior absorption and gel-forming capabilities in wound care.
How large is each square dressing?
Each dressing measures 4 x 4 inches (10.2 cm x 10.2 cm), which is a standard size for managing various wound sites.
