Mextra Superabsorbent Super Absorbent Dressing, 4 x 4 Inch

Molnlycke Mextra Superabsorbent Dressing, 4 x 4 Inch

The Molnlycke Mextra Superabsorbent Dressing is a highly absorbent wound dressing designed for wounds producing moderate to heavy amounts of exudate. It's an ideal choice for individuals and caregivers managing chronic wounds, leg ulcers, pressure injuries, and other draining wounds where effective fluid management is essential. With its high fluid absorption and retention, Mextra helps keep excess moisture away from the wound bed to support a healthier healing environment.

Mextra works by drawing up and locking in wound fluid, holding it within the dressing so it doesn't return to the skin. Even after absorbing exudate, the dressing maintains its structure and integrity without becoming bulky, so it stays comfortable and discreet under clothing. Its soft border makes the dressing conformable and easy to apply, helping it stay in place and adapt to the contours of the body. Mextra also offers protease modulating properties to help support the wound-healing process.

This dressing measures 4 x 4 inches and is available in multiple purchasing options—choose a single dressing, a box of 10, or a case of 50 depending on how much you need to keep on hand. Many wound care supplies like this are FSA/HSA eligible, making it easy to use your healthcare funds. Select your preferred quantity below to order.
