Sorptivity and durability of gelling fibre dressings
Sorptivity and durability of gelling fibre dressings tested in a simulated sacral pressure ulcer system: a Computer-controlled robotic phantom of an exuding sacral PU, simulating an active wound environment
This laboratory study aimed to simulate dressing performance in real-world conditions including factors such as treatment protocols, patient positioning, time and exudate properties, which existing test methods may not reflect.
A novel lab method and system allowed for experiments that took these real-world factors into account, was created to test the sorptivity for Exufiber® and Exufiber® Ag+ and the durability for Exufiber.
