Here’s how KerraMax Care™ encourages wound healing:

Exudate and chronic woundsAll wounds produce exudate (fluid), to help repair and heal damaged skin.

In non-healing wounds, also known as chronic wounds, the excessive production

of exudate can be harmful and delay or complicate the wound’s ability to heal,

if not managed effectively.

Exudate contains many different components – however, it is mainly a cocktail

of water, bacteria, cellular debris and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs).5

KerraMax Care™ – UK’s No.1 super-absorbent dressing1

Highly exuding woundsKerraMax Care™ super-absorbent dressings

offer an advanced method of absorbing

fluid from wounds.

How does it work?

What is the impact these components have on chronic wounds?

Exu-Safe™ TechnologyExu-Safe™ Technology is built into the core of all dressings in the KerraMax Care™

range. Any potential threat from chronic fluid is safely contained:

3 Either side of the dressing can

easily be placed onto the wound.

3 The unique horizontal wicking

action increases absorption

capacity, reducing odour and

unsightly bulking.

3 High fluid absorption and retention

help to lower wound bioburden

and reduce maceration.

3 Lateral wicking action ensures

exudate is absorbed evenly

throughout the dressing, with

no gel blocking.

3 The super-absorbent gel layer

swells when it comes into contact

with exudate, trapping and

locking away bacteria and MMPs

in the dressing’s core.2,3

3 Heat-sealed edges help reduce

leaks and keep the dressing

strong and intact.

Locks away all harmful

components of

chronic wound fluid –

especially bacteria.

Locks away exudate to

protect the delicate

wound tissue and healthy

surrounding skin.

Locks away the risk

of infection2 and

helps reduce odour.

1 Soft, nonwoven material helps to provide improved

comfort for the patient.

2 Unique horizontal wicking layer

effectively increases capacity

by drawing up exudate and

distributing it, horizontally and

vertically, throughout the

dressing, absorbing both thin

and thicker exudate.6

3 Super-absorbent core with Exu-Safe™ Technology

locks exudate and potentially

harmful bacteria2 away from the

wound, so the dressing remains

dry to the touch, improving

comfort and facilitating healing.

4 Heat-sealed border prevents exudate leakage from

the dressing, so that the patient

remains clean and comfortable.

KerraMax Care™ can be used as a primary or secondary dressing. It can be

stacked, folded or shaped to increase absorption. Suitable for use under all

forms of compression, KerraMax Care™ maintains integrity, even when fully

soaked in exudate. It is also highly effective at reducing proteinases (MMPs)

and sequestering bacteria such as MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.2,3

The Exu-Safe™ Technology core of KerraMax Care™ absorbs and

retains a large volume of exudate and locks harmful bacteria

away from the wound. We put our dressings under the

microscope to measure the level of bacterial sequestration

of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and

Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

KerraMax Care™ is highly conformable and can be folded to suit a variety of

different wounds. For full instructional videos, visit www.kerramaxcare.co.uk
