Vliwasorb® Adhesive

Highly exuding wounds such as leg ulcers are challenging to treat and can be distressing for patients. Excess exudate must be managed appropriately to prevent further deterioration of the wound and the surrounding skin.

Vliwasorb Adhesive is a high quality superabsorbent wound dressing, which absorbs twice as much as traditional absorbent dressings. Vliwasorb Adhesive retains this exudate, including the high level of harmful protease enzymes carried in chronic wound exudate, within the cellulose core..

Key benefits

• absorbs and retains high volumes of exudate
• extends wear time - reducing nursing time and cost
• locks away harmful proteases and bacteria which could otherwise delay healing
• protects against maceration - improving peri-wound skin
• improves patients' quality of life
• skin friendly, flexible adhesive membrane.

Vliwasorb is effective under compression, meaning a combined approach to treatment can be taken to optimize healing potential. It is particularly effective under Actico which is ideal for chronic oedema where high levels of lymphorrea(wet leaky legs) are common.

Vliwasorb Adhesive has a silky smooth integrated contact layer, reducing the need for an additonal primary protection layer. It is cost effective - helping you manage exudate and your budget.
