Frequently asked questions
Is the dressing made from highly absorbent fibers?
Yes, the Molnlycke Exufiber Ag+ dressing is a sterile, nonwoven construction made from highly absorbent polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers.
This composition provides superior functionality as the fibers quickly absorb wound exudate and transform into a cohesive gel. This crucial gelling action helps to:
- Effectively manage wound fluids.
- Facilitate a moist healing environment.
- Ensure easy and atraumatic removal during dressing changes.
Are these dressings sterile?
Yes, the Molnlycke Exufiber Ag+ Gelling Fiber Dressings are sterile. They are manufactured with a sterile, nonwoven construction, ensuring the highest standards for wound care.
Do these Exufiber dressings promote moist wound healing?
Yes, Molnlycke Exufiber Ag+ Gelling Fiber Dressings are specifically engineered to create and maintain a moist wound healing environment.
This crucial functionality is achieved through the dressing’s unique composition and action:
- Gelling Transformation: Made from highly absorbent polyvinyl alcohol fibers, the nonwoven dressing transforms rapidly into a cohesive gel upon contact with wound exudate.
- Optimal Environment: This gelling action helps sustain the ideal moist conditions necessary for healing.
- Gentle Removal: The cohesive gel structure also facilitates simple and gentle removal during dressing changes, which helps minimize disruption to the wound bed.
- High Quality: The product is supplied as a sterile dressing and is available in both sheet and ribbon formats for versatility.
Are the dressings available in sheet and ribbon formats?
Yes, the Molnlycke Exufiber Ag+ dressings are offered in two versatile formats to effectively manage different wound types:
- Sheet Dressings: Ideal for covering and managing surface wounds with moderate to heavy exudate.
- Ribbon Dressings: Specifically designed for packing deep, narrow, or tunneling wounds.
All formats are constructed from highly absorbent polyvinyl alcohol fibers. This unique material converts to a cohesive gel upon contact with wound exudate, which is essential for promoting a moist healing environment and ensuring minimal trauma and ease of removal during dressing changes. The Ag+ variants also incorporate silver for broad-spectrum antimicrobial action.
How is the Exufiber Ag+ Gelling Fiber packaged?
The packaging for the Molnlycke Exufiber Ag+ Gelling Fiber Dressings varies depending on the specific size and configuration (sheet or ribbon) selected. All dressings are supplied as sterile, nonwoven units.
The packaging formats are defined by the number of dressings included per box (bx) and the number of boxes included per case (cs):
| Configuration Size | Dressings per Box (Units) | Boxes per Case |
|---|---|---|
| 5cm x 5cm | 10 | 4 |
| 10cm x 12cm, 15cm x 15cm | 10 | 6 |
| 20cm x 30cm | 5 | 4 |
| 2cm x 45cm (Ribbon) | 5 | 4 |

Do these dressings offer antimicrobial protection?
Yes, Molnlycke Exufiber Ag+ Gelling Fiber Dressings are available with antimicrobial properties. The “Ag+” in the product name signifies the inclusion of silver, which provides this advanced antimicrobial action.
Does the unique gelling action ensure easy removal?
Yes, the unique gelling action is a primary benefit designed to facilitate a smooth, gentle, and easy dressing change, minimizing patient discomfort. This feature is enabled by the dressing’s unique composition:
- Material: The dressing is made from highly absorbent polyvinyl alcohol fibers.
- Function: Upon contact with wound exudate, these fibers rapidly transform into a soft, cohesive gel structure.
- Benefit: The gel minimizes adherence to the wound bed, ensuring the dressing can be removed simply without disturbing delicate, newly formed tissue, while also promoting a moist healing environment.
Are versatile sheet and ribbon formats available?
Yes, the Molnlycke Exufiber Ag+ dressings are available in two versatile configurations—sheet and ribbon—to accommodate various wound geometries and depths.
These dressings are made from highly absorbent polyvinyl alcohol fibers that form a conformable gel upon contact with exudate, supporting moist wound healing and ensuring easy, non-traumatic removal.
| Format | Purpose | Key Sizes Available |
|---|---|---|
| Sheet Dressings | Ideal for covering flat, superficial, or larger wounds. | 5cm x 5cm, 10cm x 12cm, 15cm x 15cm, 20cm x 30cm, 10cm x 10cm (4” x 4”) |
| Ribbon Dressings | Designed for packing deep, narrow, or irregularly shaped wounds. | 2cm x 45cm (0.8in x 17.7in) |
Do these dressings use highly absorbent PVA fibers?
Yes, Molnlycke Exufiber Ag+ dressings are specifically manufactured using highly absorbent polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers.
This material is crucial for effective wound management, offering several key advantages:
- Superior Fluid Management: The high absorbency effectively manages moderate to heavy wound exudate.
- Gelling Transformation: The fibers transform into a soft, cohesive gel upon contact with exudate.
- Optimized Healing Environment: The gel maintains a moist wound environment, which facilitates optimal healing conditions.
- Easy Removal: The cohesive gel structure allows for gentle and easy dressing changes, minimizing disruption to the wound bed.
- Antimicrobial Action: The ‘Ag+’ designation implies the inclusion of silver for antimicrobial properties, supporting a cleaner wound environment.
What is the purpose of silver in Exufiber Ag+ dressings?
The “Ag+” in Molnlycke Exufiber Ag+ Gelling Fiber Dressings signifies the inclusion of silver ions. The primary purpose of the silver is to provide broad-spectrum antimicrobial action. This makes the Ag+ variants ideal for managing wounds where infection is a concern, promoting a healthier, clean healing environment.
