Relevo Product Properties – functionality – Vertical Wicking

• Relevo absorbs exudate and wound secretions, still keeping a moist wound environment in the wound area.

• As stagnant liquids will be absorbed, the wound healing process will be supported.

• The liquid will be bound inside the dressing, which will not leak or drip.

• The dressing will also absorb well

under compression.

• The performance contributes to less changes, which gives the wound longer resting periods, and a more cost effective treatment, as well as less pain to the patient.

Relevo Product Properties –

• Relevo Dressing is a super absorbent compress. Wound exudate is transformed into a gel inside the dressing and cannot affect the wound surface in any unfavourable way, or soften the area around the wound. It will stay dry on the surface and eliminate any odour from the wound.

• Relevo is made from cellulose and super absorbent polymers, with a cover of polypropylene

• Product disposal is – normal waste, combustion from carbon dioxide and water
