AbsoClear
Description:
AbsoClear is water clear hydrogel sheet dressing, made of ionic polymer and glycerol, laminated with bacteria proof and water-
proof polyurethane film as outer layer.
Being ionic means that AbsoClear is as absorbent as alginate and foam wound dressings due to its high osmotic effect.
In addition, AbsoClear high glycerol content mitigates inflammation and relieves pain. Glycerol also has slow but effective antimi-
crobial activity.
AbsoClear Comfort is clear gel island pad with polyurethane adhesive border. It is also available as unpacked OTC bandages
for foot care.
Features:
1. Superabsorbent Gel:
AbsoClear can absorb wound exudates up to 14 times its original weight as same as alginate and foam wound dressings. This
results in longer wear time and reducing risk of maceration.
2. Antimicrobial Gel:
AbsoClear has high glycerol content which has slow but effective antimicrobial action against five problematic microbes:
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, MRSA, Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, and VRE. This means that the microbial growth is essentially
eliminated when the dressing is changed on a regular basis.
3. Sticky Gel:
Unlike water-based hydrogels, AbsoClear adheres once applied, so it might not need fixation tape or secondary fixation dress-
ing and allows easy application.
4. Wound environment:
a) AbsoClear creates moist wound environment upon absorption which is important in promoting the wound healing. It also
allows easy removal without pain or trauma during the dressing change.
b) Absoclear provides cooling effect and instant relief of burn sensation.
6. Clear:
AbsoClear allows easy monitoring of the wound healing process without removal of the dressing. Accordingly, it is more cost
effective than opaque dressings.
7. Debridement:
AbsoClear creates moist wound environment which helps breakdown of necrotic tissues and slough, where they are lifted off
the wound due to the osmotic nature of the gel.
In addition, this osmotic nature helps to draw fluid from underlying tissue to the wound bed.

thickness burns.
