Vliwasorb® sensitive
Superabsorbent wound dressing with silicone
Vliwasorb sensitive is a superabsorbent dressing with a silicone layer for wounds for moderately to heavily exuding wounds.
Thanks to its high absorption and retention capacity, Vliwasorb sensitive protects the wound and the area around it even under compression66) and reduces the risk of skin maceration ). The multi-layered construction facilitates fluid management to provide an optimal moist wound environment, which promotes faster wound closure. By trapping the exudate in the wound dressing the bacterial count is reduced and the bacteria are removed during dressing changes67) . The soft silicone wound contact layer is self-adhesive, making it comfortable and easy to use. Thanks to its stable shape retention – even when used in a vertical position – Vliwasorb sensitive offers greater patient comfort and peace of mind: Clothing and bed linens are protected from leakage by the practical clothing protection layer.
