Vliwasorb Superabsorbent Wound Dressing, 8 x 8 Inch

Lohmann & Rauscher Vliwasorb Superabsorbent Wound Dressing, 8 x 8 Inch

The Lohmann & Rauscher Vliwasorb Superabsorbent Wound Dressing is a high-capacity, non-adherent dressing designed for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate. Measuring 8 x 8 inches (20 x 20 centimeters), it features an absorbent core built with superabsorbent polymers (SAP) that lock away drainage, making it ideal for caregivers and clinicians managing leg ulcers, pressure injuries, and other heavily draining wounds at home or in a clinical setting.

At the heart of this dressing is a superabsorbent core that can hold up to 20 times its own weight in fluid. As it draws in and retains wound exudate, it helps keep moisture away from the skin, protecting the wound edges from maceration and supporting a healthier healing environment. Because it absorbs and holds so much, you'll typically need fewer dressing changes, which saves time and money while reducing disruption to the wound. The design also reduces the risk of adhering to the wound bed, so changes are more comfortable.

Patients appreciate that this dressing is thin, flexible, and cushioning, with a clothing protection layer that helps guard against strike-through. It has no adhesive border, so it can be secured with your preferred retention bandage or tape. This dressing is available in multiple purchasing options - choose a Single, a Box of 10, or a Case of 300. Select your preferred option below to add it to your cart.
