Superabsorber for highly exuding wounds. Flivasorb has evolved into Vliwasorb Pro and Flivasorb Adhesive changes to 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..
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.
Flivasorb is a pioneering, superabsorbent wound dressing, with twice as much absorption capacity in comparison to a traditional absorbent dressing.
