Super Absorbent Polymer technology allows XTRASORB™ to redefine expectations of moist wound dressings
XTRASORB™ is a line of novel super-absorbent wound dressings. The core super-absorbent polymer technologies dramatically improve the capabilities of the dressings versus conventional moist wound dressings. Whereas other absorbent dressings (including foams, abd pads, and other cellulose-based dressings) rely on spaces within the dressings to fill with fluid, XTRASORB™’s super-absorbent polymers bind fluid and convert it to a gel. The distinct advantages this offers over traditional first-line dressings are:
- XTRASORB™ dressings are able to hold more fluid
- XTRASORB™ dressings lock fluid inside the dressing, helping to decrease the risk of maceration
- XTRASORB™ dressings lock fluid inside the dressing, helping to keep the harmful contents within wound fluid away from the wound & periwound skin
The dressings come in a variety of formats:
![]() |
XTRASORB™ HCS – with and without adhesive border: For dry to moderately exuding wounds |
![]() |
XTRASORB™ Foam – with and without adhesive border: For moderately to heavily exuding wounds |
![]() |
XTRASORB™ “Classic”: For heavily and extra heavily exuding wounds |
The dressings can be used on an assortment of chronic and acute wounds including:
- Pressure Ulcers
- Diabetic Foot Ulcers
- Donor Sites
- Venous Leg Ulcers
- Post-Operative Wounds
- Arterial Ulcers
- Traumatic Wounds
