MaxioCel Chitosan Gelling Fibre Wound Dressing | 15cm X 15cm | Pack Of 10

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

MaxioCel is a sterile, non-woven primary dressing engineered from 100% chitosan fibers. Utilizing Bioactive Microfibre Gelling (BMG) technology, the dressing transforms into a cohesive gel matrix when in contact with wound exudate. This action is designed to sequestrate fluid and maintain the moist environment necessary for natural wound healing.

Derived from purified chitin (shellfish source), the material is processed to remove proteins and is sterilized via gamma irradiation. This 15cm x 15cm format is intended for larger wound areas or can be cut to size by a clinician for specific applications.

Features & Clinical Application

  • Fluid Management: High-capacity absorption designed to retain exudate within the gelling fibers.

Important Safety Information (GMC Compliance)

Clinician Oversight Required: This is a medical device. It must only be used following a clinical assessment by a qualified healthcare professional (e.g., GP, Tissue Viability Nurse, or Podiatrist).
