Vliwasorb Superabsorbent Wound Dressing, 4 x 4 Inch

Lohmann & Rauscher Vliwasorb Superabsorbent Wound Dressing, 4 x 4 Inch

The Lohmann & Rauscher Vliwasorb Superabsorbent Wound Dressing is a high-performance, non-adherent dressing designed to manage moderately to heavily exuding wounds. Built around an absorbent core containing superabsorbent polymers (SAP), this dressing draws in and locks away wound fluid to help keep the wound bed and surrounding skin healthy. It's ideal for patients and caregivers managing chronic wounds, pressure injuries, leg ulcers, and other draining wounds that need reliable exudate control.

What makes Vliwasorb stand out is its high absorption and retention capacity: the superabsorbent core can absorb up to 20 times its own weight in wound exudate and hold it securely, even under compression. By capturing fluid rather than letting it sit against the skin, the dressing helps protect wound edges from maceration and supports a moist wound-healing environment. Its non-adherent design reduces the risk of the dressing sticking to the wound, so removal is gentler and more comfortable. And because it holds so much fluid, you can enjoy fewer dressing changes, which saves both time and money.

This dressing is thin, flexible, and cushioning, with a clothing-protection layer that helps keep fluid from striking through to garments and bedding. It has no adhesive border, so it can be secured with your preferred retention tape, bandage, or compression wrap.
