Super absorbent fiber core absorb many times its own weight in fluids and does not release the retained exudate even under mechanical pressure. This is how the wound margins are protected from maceration and makes Flivasorb the comfortable wound dressing choice under compression bandages.
Managing heavily exuding wounds can be costly when valuable time and resources are spent on frequent dressing changes. Flivasorb super absorbent dressing, with its very high absorption capacity, helps allow for fewer dressing changes which saves time and money.
