Highly exuding wounds are challenging to treat. Clinicians may see exudate pooling, slough and delayed healing due to the presence of biofilm. Patients may feel pain, embarrassment and anxiety from leakage. That is why we are looking at gelling fibres differently. Providing a wound healing solution that clinicians want to see and that patients can feel.
We call this
The Exufiber® Effect
See one-piece removal.
Patients feel relieved.
Exufiber® stays intact during use
of clinicians reported patient comfort as ‘good’ or ‘very good’ for Exufiber®
Rated Exufiber® as ‘easy’ or ‘very easy’ to remove in one piece
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.
See the transfer of exudate.
Patients feel comfort.
Exufiber® dressings efficiently* transfer exudate from the wound bed
See a cleaner wound bed.
Patients feel less anxious.
Exufiber® promotes autolytic debridement, helping to break down slough
Locks in up to

of the exudate absorbed than Aquacel® Extra™
See wound progression.
Patients feel reassured.
Biofilm is presnt in all chronic, non-healing wounds
This means you can see a wound heading in the right direction. Your patients feel reassured their wound is being supported to heal.
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 transfer exudate
Mepilex® Border Flex is the recommended secondary dressing for the Exufiber® range.
It combines innovative Flex Technology with our proven Safetac® Technology, for a secondary dressing that stays on and uniquely conforms.
*For Exufiber® Ag+ when exposed to a flow rate of 0.6ml/h at 40mmHg pressure for up to seven days
**Exufiber® and Exufiber® Ag+ can be left in place for up to seven days depending on wound condition and clinical practice. In addition, Exufiber® can be left in place for up to 14 days on donor sites.
***When comparing lab results for retention under pressure with Aquacel®, Aquacel® Extra™, Durafiber® and UrgoClean® dressings.
****As part of a holistic biofilm management approach as per international guidelines (i.e. cleansing, debridement and reassessment)
