MaxioCel Chitosan Rope Wound Dressing - 1" x 12" Sterile Gelling Fiber
100% Chitosan Rope Dressing for Packing Deep and Cavity Wounds
Product Description
The MaxioCel Chitosan Wound Dressing is a soft, sterile, single-use absorbent gelling wound dressing designed for the management of moderately to heavily exuding chronic and acute wounds, including deep wounds and cavities . It is a 100% chitosan-based dressing fabricated using Bioactive Microfibre Gelling (BMG) technology . When it comes into contact with wound exudate, the dressing transforms into a cohesive gel that conforms to the wound bed, maintaining an optimal moist healing environment and facilitating autolytic debridement . The dressing is easy to remove in one piece, helping to minimize trauma and pain during dressing changes .
Chitosan, the key component of the dressing, is a biocompatible polysaccharide derived from a sustainable shellfish source . It is known for its ability to absorb exudate, support wound healing, and provide haemostatic properties to control minor bleeding . The rope format, measuring 1" x 12" (2.5cm x 30cm), is specifically designed for packing deep wounds, tunneling wounds, and cavity wounds to promote healing from the base up . Each dressing is terminally sterilized and individually packaged to ensure a hygienic application
Features
- 100% Chitosan Bioactive Microfiber Gelling (BMG) Rope Dressing: The dressing is composed entirely of chitosan, a natural polymer, and utilizes BMG technology to create a cohesive gel upon contact with wound fluid, conforming perfectly to deep and irregular wound spaces .
- Designed for Packing Deep and Cavity Wounds: The 1" x 12" rope format is ideal for packing deep wounds, tunneling wounds, and cavity wounds, ensuring contact with the entire wound surface to promote healing from the base up .
- Effective Fluid Management: Highly absorbent, the rope dressing can manage exudate effectively, preventing maceration and promoting a clean wound bed .
- Haemostatic Properties for Minor Bleeding: The dressing's inherent haemostatic properties help to control minor bleeding from superficial wounds, such as those that occur after debridement .
- Supports Autolytic Debridement: By creating a moist environment, MaxioCel facilitates the body's natural autolytic debridement process, helping to break down and remove necrotic and sloughy tissue .
- Designed for Patient Comfort: The soft, conformable gel that forms on contact with exudate reduces friction and is easy to remove in one piece, minimizing pain and trauma to the wound bed during dressing changes
Why Choose MaxioCel
- Many traditional wound dressings act primarily as passive barriers or absorbents, providing limited active support for the wound bed, and are often difficult to use in deep wounds. In contrast, MaxioCel is an advanced, active dressing that participates in the healing process. Its 100% chitosan BMG technology provides a unique combination of benefits: it manages fluid, controls minor bleeding, and supports autolytic debridement, all while conforming to the wound bed to promote a moist healing environment . This makes it a superior choice for complex wounds that require more than just basic absorption. The rope format is specifically designed to be easily packed into deep or tunneling wounds to ensure contact with the entire wound surface.
- Compared to other chitosan-based or gelling fiber dressings, MaxioCel's advanced microfiber structure provides a cohesive gel that conforms to irregular wound beds and can be removed in one piece, minimizing trauma . Clinical evaluations have shown that it significantly improves wound healing parameters, including a reduction in wound size and necrotic tissue, and an increase in healthy granulation tissue, often in wounds that were previously non-healing This combination of patient comfort and clinical effectiveness makes it a valuable tool for modern wound care
- Choosing MaxioCel means choosing an advanced, clinically effective, and patient-centered solution for wound management. We bridge the gap between the need for powerful exudate management and the necessity of protecting delicate healing tissue, offering a superior way to promote healing and improve patient quality of life
