AI Article Synopsis
- Gelling-fibre dressings, like Suprasorb Liquacel Pro, are effective for managing wound exudate by forming a gel upon contact with fluids, which helps maintain a moist environment conducive to healing.
- These dressings trap cell debris and bacteria within their fibers, aiding in cleanliness during dressing changes.
- Suprasorb Liquacel Ag enhances this effectiveness with nanosilver, providing antimicrobial properties that help reduce bacterial presence and improve wound care.
Article Abstract
Gelling-fibre dressings have been found to be a rapid and effective tool for exudate management. Suprasorb Liquacel Pro is a soft, conformable non-woven dressing made from sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and strengthening cellulose fibres. When it comes into contact with wound exudate or blood, the absorbent dressing forms a gel, creating a moist wound environment. Cell debris and bacteria in the exudate are retained inside the fibre dressing and removed during the dressing change. The high vertical absorption of exudate into the fibre dressing protects the wound environment and the wound edge, thus supporting the healing process. Suprasorb Liquacel Ag has additional antimicrobial abilities with the inclusion of nanosilver technology, shown to be effective in killing bacteria and managing bioburden.
