Excilon All-Purpose Sponges are a nonwoven gauze sponge wound dressing that quickly wick away fluid from the wound site with it's highly absorbent tri-laminate structure. Excilon Sponges are made with a tri-laminate (polyester-rayon-polyester) structure that eliminates trauma caused by rayon when it comes in contact with the tissue. Premium 6-ply thick gauze provides better absorbency for a dryer wound site, so that the risk of infection and the frequency of dressing changes are low.

 

How can a non-woven, moisture-wicking dressing help my patients?

A Gauze pad is typically better at keeping a wound dry are those made with non-woven fabrics. Non-woven fabrics have a higher density which allows them to have higher absorbency properties. These fabrics have the ability to quickly “wick-away” moisture and keep the wound dry. They also are designed to not stick to the wound, which will make them easier to remove. Keeping a wound dry and protected, also keeps it cleaner which lowers the risk of infection - for both your patient and yourself - and the wound will heal faster. Also, a dressing that can effectively do all of this, like the Excilon Gauze Sponges, will require fewer changes and save your facility in time and money on gauze sponges.
