Exufiber Ag 15x15 cm Advanced Gelling Fiber Dressing

Molnlycke Exufiber Ag 15x15 cm is an advanced gelling fiber wound dressing with ionic silver, designed for the effective management of highly exuding wounds. Utilizing Molnlycke's proprietary Hydrolock Technology, this dressing transforms into a gel upon contact with wound exudate, creating a moist wound healing environment and conforming intimately to the wound bed. The unique structure effectively locks in exudate, reducing the risk of leakage and maceration.

The incorporation of ionic silver provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection, effectively killing a wide range of bacteria and fungi within the dressing. This action reduces the bioburden in the wound, minimizing the risk of infection and promoting optimal healing. Exufiber Ag is ideal for a variety of chronic and acute wounds, including leg and foot ulcers, pressure injuries, partial thickness burns, surgical wounds, and traumatic wounds.

As referenced on sites like , , and , Exufiber Ag dressings are known for their high absorbency and retention capabilities, making them a reliable choice for managing challenging wounds.

Key Benefits:

• High absorbency and retention capacity for highly exuding wounds.
• Forms a cohesive gel that conforms to the wound bed, minimizing dead space.
• Ionic silver provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, reducing infection risk.
• Maintains a moist wound healing environment conducive to natural healing.
• Locks exudate within the dressing, preventing leakage and maceration.
• Can be used under compression.
• Minimizes pain upon removal due to its gelling properties.

How to Use:

1. Cleanse the wound area gently with an appropriate wound cleanser.
2. Ensure the skin surrounding the wound is dry.
3. Choose a dressing size that slightly overlaps the wound edges.
4. Apply the Exufiber Ag dressing directly to the wound bed.
5. Secure the Exufiber Ag dressing with a suitable secondary dressing (e.g., retention tape, bandage) or compression therapy, as indicated by clinical assessment.
6. The dressing may be left in place for several days, depending on the wound condition and exudate level.
7. Change the dressing when clinically indicated or when saturated.
8. To remove, gently lift the edges of the secondary dressing and then the Exufiber Ag dressing.

Caution & Warnings:

• For external use only.
• Do not use on individuals with known hypersensitivity to silver or any components of the dressing.
• Discontinue use if signs of irritation or infection appear and consult a healthcare professional.
• This product is for single-use only. Do not re-sterilize or reuse.
• Ensure the wound is properly assessed by a healthcare professional before use.
• Avoid contact with electrodes or conductive gels during electronic measurements (e.g., EEG, ECG).
• Infection in the wound does not contraindicate the use of Exufiber Ag, but the infection should be treated appropriately as per local clinical protocols.
