Maxorb Extra CMC-Alginate Wound Dressing - Advanced Absorbent Dressing for Moderate to Heavy Exudate

Advanced Wound Care Technology for Superior Healing Outcomes

Maxorb Extra CMC-Alginate Wound Dressings represent the next generation in advanced wound care management, specifically engineered to address the complex needs of moderate to heavily draining wounds. This innovative dressing combines the proven efficacy of non-woven alginate fibers with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) technology to create a highly absorbent, conformable wound care solution that actively promotes optimal healing conditions.

Revolutionary Gel-Forming Technology

Upon contact with wound exudate, the unique fiber matrix transforms into a soft, cohesive gel that maintains an ideal moist wound environment—a critical factor in accelerating tissue regeneration and reducing healing time. This gel formation process not only locks in excess fluid but also creates a protective barrier that cushions the wound bed, minimizing trauma during dressing changes and enhancing overall patient comfort throughout the healing journey.

Enhanced Performance Specifications

Maxorb Extra delivers 25% greater loft and fluid handling capacity compared to previous formulations, representing a significant advancement in absorbent dressing technology. This enhanced construction provides superior vertical absorption while dramatically reducing lateral fluid wicking—a key feature that protects the delicate periwound skin from maceration and breakdown. The result is improved clinical outcomes, reduced complications, and enhanced patient satisfaction.

Clinical Benefits & Performance Features

• Exceptional Absorbency: Specifically designed for moderate to heavily exuding wounds, this dressing offers outstanding fluid management capabilities that prevent exudate pooling and maintain a balanced moisture environment conducive to cellular migration and tissue repair.
• Advanced Fluid Control System: The sophisticated fiber architecture efficiently manages wound drainage through vertical absorption channels, minimizing lateral spread and safeguarding surrounding healthy tissue from moisture-related damage.
• Optimal Moist Wound Healing: The gel matrix maintains ideal hydration levels at the wound interface, supporting autolytic debridement, promoting granulation tissue formation, and reducing infection risk through effective exudate management.
• Extended Wear Duration: Provides reliable performance for up to 7 days between changes, reducing nursing time, minimizing patient disruption, and lowering overall treatment costs while maintaining therapeutic efficacy.
• Clinician-Friendly Design: Engineered for effortless application and atraumatic removal, ensuring streamlined dressing change procedures that save valuable clinical time and enhance patient comfort during wound care protocols.
• Conformable & Versatile: Adapts to various wound shapes and anatomical locations, ensuring complete wound bed contact and optimal therapeutic performance across diverse clinical presentations.

Clinical Indications

Maxorb Extra is indicated for comprehensive management of:

• Pressure ulcers (stages II-IV)
• Partial-thickness and full-thickness wounds
• Diabetic foot ulcers and neuropathic wounds
• Venous stasis ulcers and arterial leg ulcers
• Post-surgical wounds and dehisced incisions
• Skin graft sites and donor site wounds
• Traumatic lacerations and abrasions
• First-degree and second-degree thermal burns

Contraindications

Do not use for:

• Third-degree burns or full-thickness thermal injuries
• As a surgical sponge or internal wound packing
• Dry wounds without adequate exudate production
• Patients with documented sensitivity or allergy to alginate or CMC materials

Usage Guidelines & Dressing Change Protocol

Frequency of Change: Replace dressing every 7 days or when saturated with exudate, whichever occurs first. Clinical assessment may indicate more frequent changes based on wound drainage volume, infection status, or treatment plan modifications.

Storage Requirements: Store at controlled room temperature in a dry environment. Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 77°F (25°C) or store in high-humidity conditions.
