How Exufiber works

Exufiber is a sterile nonwoven dressing made from highly absorbent polyvinyl alcohol fibres. In contact with wound exudate, Exufiber transforms into a gel that facilitates
moist wound healing and ease of removal during dressing change. Exufiber absorbs and retains wound exudate. Exufiber is available both as sheet and ribbon dressings.

Benefits of Exufiber

• High tensile strength to enable dressing removal in one piece
• High retention capacity to prevent leakage and maceration
• Absorbs and retains exudate, blood and bacteria
• Highly absorbent, also under compression therapy
• Soft and conformable which makes it easy to apply
• Can be left in place for up to 7 days and up to 14 days on donor sites

Precautions

• All wounds should be inspected frequently. In case of signs of clinical infection, consult a health care professional for adequate infection treatment.

• Exufiber is not intended for dry wounds or full thickness burns.

• If the dressing dries out and is difficult to remove, it should be moistened according to local policies (e.g. with sterile saline or sterile water) and allowed to soak until it lifts easily.

• It may take several minutes for Exufiber to transform into a gel. Remove the dressing by gently cleansing/flushing.

Intended Use

Exufiber wound dressing is intended to be used on a wide range of exuding wounds:

• Leg and foot ulcers
• Pressure injuries
• Partial thickness burns
• Surgical wounds
• Donor sites
• Malignant wounds
• Dermal lesions and other external wounds inflicted by trauma
