title: Evaluating a super absorbent dressing (Flivasorb) in highly exuding wounds.
abstract: This article reports an observational evaluation of 19 patients with highly exuding wounds. Flivasorb was used as a super absorbent dressing that could remove the harmful exudate fluid and promote a healthy wound bed. The outcomes demonstrated that Flivasorb is successfully absorbs large amounts of fluid, reduces the number of dressing changes required and therefore, reduces the cost of the patient's care.
