Maxorb Extra Alginate
By: Medline Industries

Maxorb Extra’s non-woven alginate and carboxylmethylcellulose (CMC) fiber combination interacts with wound exudate to form a gel, providing for a moist healing environment.

Features & Benefits:

• Compared to previous Marorb dressings, Maxorb Extra has greater loft and fluid handling capacity – 25% more than before, and more than the other alginate dressing on the market.
• The added presence of CMC in Maxorb Extra improves the gelling and fluid-handling ability as well as adding improved strength.
• The pad will not wick exudate laterally, reducing the potential for delicate peri-wound tissue damage.
• The gelatinous pad may be easily lifted in one piece from the wound bed. Dressings are supplied in single pouches or lidded tray.
• The rope version’s lidded tray keeps the fibers from compressing. As a result, fluid handling capacity is increased.
