Absorbs exudate
High absorption capacity (absorbs 7 times its own weight in wound fluid) helps to establish moisture balance.5-7
Disrupts biofilm
Shown to prevent and disrupt mature biofilms typically found in chronic wounds (in vitro and in vivo).8-18
Reduced bioburden
Up to 72 hours of broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity (in vitro).1,2
Removes slough, debris and bacteria
Assists with wound debridement by absorbing excess slough and debris.3,4,22-24
