Drawtex dressings are superior options for exudate management. Drawtex is a hydroconductive wound dressing with LevaFiber Technology. LevaFiber combines two types of absorbent cross-action structures to draw exudate away from the wound surface.
Electrostatic Action
Electrostatic action results in attraction of negatively charged bacteria and cytokines (MMPs) to the positive charge at the surface of the Drawtex. The positive charge at the Drawtex surface results as positive ions from the edema or exudate coat the slightly negatively charged Drawtex dressing.
Choose from an array of Drawtex sizes for a cutting-edge, hydroconductive dressing that’s appropriate for your situation.
Capillary action gives Drawtex its ability to move wound exudate and wound debris into the porous material of the dressing. With the small pores acting as capillaries, intermolecular attractive forces between the exudate and the solid surfaces of the Drawtex dressing allow the exudate to be drawn upward against the force of gravity.
Hydroconductive Action
Hydroconductive action is controlled by Darcy’s Law, which defines the ability of a fluid to flow through porous media. Fluid can move from wet to dry areas even against gravity, which explains how water can be transported from the roots of a tree to its leaves. The LevaFiber Technology allows the dressing to lift, hold and transfer the wound exudate both vertically and horizontally by hydroconductive action.
