Mextra Superabsorbent Super Absorbent Dressing, 4 x 6 Inch

Molnlycke Mextra Superabsorbent Dressing, 4 x 6 Inch

The Molnlycke Mextra Superabsorbent Dressing is a high-performance wound dressing designed to manage moderately to heavily exuding wounds. Measuring 4 x 6 inches (12.5 x 17.5 cm), it's ideal for caregivers, clinicians, and individuals treating leg ulcers, pressure injuries, and other wounds that produce significant fluid. Its high fluid absorption and retention capacity helps keep excess exudate away from the wound bed to support a healthier healing environment.

Mextra works by drawing exudate into its superabsorbent core and locking it away, so fluid stays contained even under compression. The dressing maintains its structure and integrity without becoming bulky once it has absorbed exudate, helping reduce the risk of leakage and maceration. Its soft, conformable construction and gentle border make it easy to apply and comfortable to wear, molding to the contours of the body for a secure, low-profile fit. Mextra also has protease-modulating properties that may support the wound-healing process.

This dressing is available in multiple purchase options—buy a single dressing, a box of 10, or a case of 40—so you can stock up in the quantity that suits your needs. Home-medical wound care supplies like this are typically FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred quantity from the options below.
