Kliniderm Superabsorbent Dressing

About Kliniderm Superabsorbent Dressing

Super absorbency, super performance

Kliniderm® Superabsorbent dressings are advanced wound dressings with four-layer construction designed for moderate to heavily exuding wounds. The hydrophilic wound contact layer transmits wound exudate upwards and does not adhere to the wound surface. The distribution layer provides rapid fluid uptake and distributes the exudate evenly into the absorbent layer. The central absorbent core contains SAP polymer particles for outstanding absorption and retention. Fluid repellent backing layer minimizes fluid strikethrough and has high permeability to allow effective vapour transfer and breathability. Kliniderm® Superabsorbent dressings facilitate the wound healing by maintaining moist wound environment and prevent the maceration of the surrounding skin by retaining the wound exudate within the core.

Not made with natural rubber latex or DEHP. Medical device.
