Biatain Fiber Pure sodium CMC dressing Description Biatain Fiber is a gelling fiber featuring HexaLock Technology, and is made of pure sodium carboxymethylcellulose (100% NaCMC) welded into hexagonal units, with a non-woven fabric (TNT) structure, for greater tensile strength and optimal exudate management. Thanks to HexaLock Technology, when Biatain Fiber is applied to the wound and comes into contact with wound exudate, the NaCMC fibers gel, the soft gel formed absorbs vertically and retains both the exudate and the bacteria it contains. Biatain Fiber gels and conforms perfectly to the wound bed, creating an ideal moist environment that promotes healing. It also facilitates the removal of non-viable tissue by activating fibrinolysis and promoting autolytic debridement. Sterilized by gamma irradiation. Made without natural rubber latex. Phthalate-free. Single-use product. How to use Biatain Fiber can be used on all types of chronic or acute wounds with moderate to heavy exudate, such as leg ulcers, pressure sores, diabetic ulcers, first- and second-degree burns, donor sites for transplants, superficial wounds and abrasions, surgical or traumatic wounds healing by secondary intention, oncological wounds, tunneled and undermined wounds, and fistulas. Biatain Fiber can be cut in any direction and can also be used under compression therapy. Maximum in-situ time: 7 days.
