In the medical industry, absorbent technology is required for numerous products, including those for exudates management. As part of the normal healing process wounds release fluid but too much or too little can interfere with the healing process. Therefore it is important to manage moisture levels, particularly in chronic wounds.
Oasis SAF®is already being used in a wide range of specialist medical care application areas. The nature of the product has also lead to a number of exciting opportunities in the design of new wound care fabrics for exudates management.
