Frequently asked questions

Does this dressing help prevent skin breakdown?

Yes. The DryMax Extra is specifically engineered to prevent maceration. Its superabsorbent core vertically draws exudate away from the wound bed and locks it inside, keeping the surrounding healthy skin dry and protected.

Can I use this under compression bandages?

Absolutely. Because the dressing features a thin profile and effectively locks moisture into its core, it is highly suitable for use under compression wraps or bandages for managing chronic wounds like leg ulcers.

Does this dressing help manage wound bacteria?

Yes. Beyond fluid management, the dressing is designed to absorb and sequester bacteria within its core. This helps create a cleaner, more hygienic environment to support the natural healing process.

Will this reduce how often I need to change dressings?

Yes. Its high-retention capacity is engineered to manage significant levels of fluid, which typically allows for longer intervals between dressing changes compared to standard, less-absorbent dressings.

What types of wounds is this best for?

This dressing is ideal for heavily exuding wounds that require reliable moisture management. It is commonly used for:

  • Leg ulcers
  • Pressure ulcers
  • Diabetic foot ulcers
Is this dressing adhesive?

No, this version of the DryMax Extra is a non-adherent, borderless dressing. This makes it versatile for use in various clinical settings where you may need to secure it with a specific type of tape or secondary wrap of your choice.

Is this product sterile?

Yes, every DryMax Extra dressing is provided in a sterile condition, making it safe for professional clinical wound care as well as managed home health care environments.

How is the fluid absorbed by the dressing?

The dressing utilizes vertical absorption. This means it pulls fluid directly away from the wound bed and encapsulates it securely into the specialized material core, rather than allowing fluid to spread laterally across the surface.

What materials are used in the dressing?

The DryMax Extra is constructed from a combination of high-quality materials designed for maximum performance:

  • Polypropylene
  • Sodium Polyacrylate
  • Cellulose Pulp
  • Polyolefine
