MaxioCel Chitosan Wound Dressing - 8" x 12" Sterile Gelling Fiber

100% Chitosan Dressing with Bioactive Microfiber Gelling Technology

Product Description

The MaxioCel Chitosan Wound Dressing is a soft, sterile, single-use absorbent gelling wound dressing designed for the management of moderately to heavily exuding chronic and acute wounds . It is a 100% chitosan-based dressing fabricated using Bioactive Microfibre Gelling (BMG) technology . When it comes into contact with wound exudate, the dressing transforms into a cohesive gel that conforms to the wound bed, maintaining an optimal moist healing environment and facilitating autolytic debridement . The dressing is easy to remove in one piece, helping to minimize trauma and pain during dressing changes .

Chitosan, the key component of the dressing, is a biocompatible polysaccharide derived from a sustainable shellfish source . It is known for its ability to absorb exudate, support wound healing, and provide haemostatic properties to control minor bleeding . The 8" x 12" (20cm x 30cm) size is ideal for a variety of larger or extensive wound types, including diabetic foot ulcers, pressure sores, leg ulcers, surgical wounds, donor sites, and first and second-degree burns . Each dressing is terminally sterilized and individually packaged to ensure a hygienic application

Features

• 100% Chitosan Bioactive Microfiber Gelling (BMG) Dressing: The dressing is composed entirely of chitosan, a natural polymer, and utilizes BMG technology to create a cohesive gel upon contact with wound fluid, providing a moist environment for healing .
• Effective Fluid Management: Designed for moderately to heavily exuding wounds, MaxioCel is highly absorbent and can absorb up to 30 times its weight in fluid, helping to manage exudate levels effectively and preventing maceration .
• Haemostatic Properties for Minor Bleeding: The dressing's inherent haemostatic properties help to control minor bleeding from superficial wounds, such as those that occur after debridement .
• Supports Autolytic Debridement: By creating a moist environment, MaxioCel facilitates the body's natural autolytic debridement process, helping to break down and remove necrotic and sloughy tissue .
• Designed for Patient Comfort: The soft, conformable gel that forms on contact with exudate reduces friction and is easy to remove in one piece, minimizing pain and trauma to the wound bed during dressing changes .
• Extended Wear Time: The MaxioCel dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days, depending on the level of exudate, reducing the frequency of dressing changes and supporting a more convenient care routine

Why Choose MaxioCel

1. Many traditional wound dressings act primarily as passive barriers or absorbents, providing limited active support for the wound bed. In contrast, MaxioCel is an advanced, active dressing that participates in the healing process. Its 100% chitosan BMG technology provides a unique combination of benefits: it manages fluid, controls minor bleeding, and supports autolytic debridement, all while conforming to the wound bed to promote a moist healing environment . This makes it a superior choice for complex wounds that require more than just basic absorption.
2. Compared to other chitosan-based or gelling fiber dressings, MaxioCel's advanced microfiber structure provides a cohesive gel that conforms to irregular wound beds and can be removed in one piece, minimizing trauma . Clinical evaluations have shown that it significantly improves wound healing parameters, including a reduction in wound size and necrotic tissue, and an increase in healthy granulation tissue, often in wounds that were previously non-healing . This combination of patient comfort and clinical effectiveness makes it a valuable tool for modern wound care .
3. Choosing MaxioCel means choosing an advanced, clinically effective, and patient-centered solution for wound management. We bridge the gap between the need for powerful exudate management and the necessity of protecting delicate healing tissue, offering a superior way to promote healing and improve patient quality of life
