Mextra Superabsorbent Super Absorbent Dressing, 6 x 8 Inch

Molnlycke Mextra Superabsorbent Dressing, 6 x 8 Inch

The Molnlycke Mextra Superabsorbent Dressing is a high-capacity wound dressing designed for wounds that produce moderate to heavy amounts of fluid, or exudate. Measuring 6 x 8 inches (approximately 17.5 x 22.5 centimeters), it's ideal for caregivers, clinicians, and individuals managing chronic or highly exuding wounds who need reliable fluid handling without frequent dressing changes. Its superabsorbent core locks fluid away from the wound bed to support a healthier healing environment.

Mextra works by drawing exudate up and into its superabsorbent layer, where the fluid is retained even under light compression. This helps reduce the risk of skin maceration around the wound while keeping the dressing from becoming bulky as it fills. Thanks to its soft, conformable border, the dressing molds comfortably to the body and is easy to apply and position. It also offers protease modulating properties, supporting the wound's natural healing process, and maintains its structure and integrity as it absorbs.

This dressing is available in multiple purchase options, including a single dressing, a Box of 10, and a Case of 40, so you can order the quantity that fits your needs at home or in a clinical setting. This item may be FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred option below to add it to your cart.
