The challenges
of chronic wounds
Highly exuding wounds are challenging to treat.
You may see exudate pooling, sloughy tissue and delayed healing due to the presence of biofilm. Open chronic wounds are at an increased risk of infection and can put additional demands on nurses’ time and total healthcare costs.
Your patient’s wellbeing will also be affected. Their wound may be painful and they may feel embarrassment and anxiety from leakage.
It is not the environment you want to see for optimum wound healing, nor what your patients want to feel.
It's time for change
That is why we are lookig at gelling fibres differently. Providing a wound healing solution that you want to see and that your patients can feel. A positive, shared experience for you and for them.
The solution is here!

Patients feel comfort.
Exufiber® dressings efficiently* transfer exudate from the wound bed
Proven transfer ability
Using a cavity model to simulate fluid transfer capability, Exufiber® demonstrated better fluid transfer capability than Aquacel®, with less fluid in the cavity when the dressing was removed.

Patients feel less anxious.
Exufiber® promotes autolytic debridement, helping to breakdown slough

Locks in up to 23% more*** of the exudate absorbed than Aquacel® ExtraTM |
Exufiber® with next generation Hydrolock® Technology
Unlike traditional gelling fibres, Exufiber® dressings utilise Hydrolock® technology, a non-woven material created from uniquely modified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibres. These tightly packed fibres form a fibrous structure able to transport exudate
Properties of Exufiber®
Product properties
Stays intact for clean and easy, one-piece removal
Hydrolock® Technology keeps exudate locked into its fibres, but this structure also gives Exufiber® its high wet tensile strength to keep the dressing intact when wet, without the need for further reinforcement, making it easy to remove in one piece
Product properties
Softly conforms for greater comfort
Exufiber® gently conforms to the wound bed when both wet and dry, making it easy to apply and designed to be comfortable for the patient.
Product properties
Locks in exudate to reduce the risk of leaks and maceration
Exufiber® is made with Hydrolock® Technology to both absorb exudate and keep it locked in to the fibres. This includes exudate containing bacteria, which stays locked in , preventing the bacteria from re-entering the wound bed.
How it works
Hydrolock Technology for a dressing that locks in and stays intact
Superior* lock-in properties for less risk of maceration. 98.6% of clinicians found Exufiber’s® ability to lock in exudate as ‘good’ or ‘very good’ * When comparing lab test results , for retention under pressure with Aquacel®, Aquacel® Extra™, Durafiber◊ and UrgoClean® dressings
Recently published RCT proves efficacy of Exufiber® dressings vs. leading competitor
New evidence for Exufiber captured as part of a multi-centre Randomised Control Trial (RCT) has recently been published:
'A randomised, open-label, parallel-group, multicentre, comparative study to compare the efficacy and safety of Exufiber® with Aquacel® Extra™dressings in exuding venous and mixed aetiology leg ulcers'.
The trial presented positive results for Exufiber, showing that wounds treated with Exufiber showed a trend of a greater percentage reduction in wound size than the competitor dressing. In addition clinicians involved in the study reported a significantly greater percentage of ‘good’ or ‘very good’ ratings for Exufiber dressing features and technical performance when compared to their experience of the competitor dressing.
