KERRAMAX CARE™ Superabsorbierende Verbände

All wounds produce exudate to help repair and heal damaged tissue. In non-healing, chronic wounds, excessive production of exudate, if not managed effectively, can be harmful, delaying or complicating wound healing.

Exudate contains many different components including water, bacteria, cellular debris and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)1 all of which can have a detrimental impact on wound healing. A dressing is required which can effectively absorb high levels of fluid and lock away from the wound bed and peri-wound skin.

KERRAMAX CARE™ Super-absorbent Dressings offer an advanced method of absorbing fluid from wounds utilising the EXU-SAFE™ Technology built into the core of all dressings within the KERRAMAX CARE™ Dressings range.

• Locks away exudate to protect the delicate wound tissue and surrounding skin
• Locks away the transmission risk of infection and helps reduce odour in chronic wounds
• Locks away all harmful components of chronic wound fluid – especially bacteria

Indications
Suitable for use on moderate to heavily exuding wounds such as:

• Leg ulcers
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Pressure ulcers

KERRAMAX CARE™ Dressings can be used as either a primary or secondary dressing and can be folded or shaped to assist patient comfort.

Suitable for use under all forms of compression, KERRAMAX CARE™ Dressings maintain
integrity even when saturated. In addition, the dressings can reduce proteinases (MMPs) and bacteria such as MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa on the wound bed via sequestration.

SOFT, NON-WOVEN MATERIAL
Either side of the dressing allows either side to be placed to the wound whilst being comfortable for the patient helping to support patient compliance with treatment.

UNIQUE HORIZONTAL WICKING LAYER
Draws up serous and viscose exudate, distributing it evenly and both horizontally plus vertically throughout the dressing,utilising the full absorption capacity and prevent unsightly bulking.

SUPER-ABSORBENT CORE WITH EXU-SAFE™ TECHNOLOGY
Absorbs and retains high levels of exudate and potentially harmful bacteria away from the
wound bed to facilitate healing and reduce the risk of maceration.

HEAT-SEALED BORDER
Prevents exudate leaking from the dressing.

Because KERRAMAX CARE™ locks away exudate, it is also effective at locking away bacteria and MMPs present in wound fluid which can delay wound healing; KERRAMAX CARE™ technology keeps them away from delicate wound tissue, wound edges and healthy surrounding skin.
