Gelling fibre dressing
Exufiber
Gelling fibre dressing with advanced fluid retention for highly exuding wounds.
Unlike more traditional gelling fibres, Exufiber® is a non-woven PVA dressing. It transforms into a gel upon contact with exudate, helping it to softly conform to the wound bed. Exufiber can be used to treat a wide range of medium to highly exuding wounds, including cavity wounds.
Exufiber is made with Hydrolock® technology to both absorb exudate and keep it locked in to the fibres. Exufiber reduces the risk of leakage and maceration, helping to create an optimal healing environment. Hydrolock technology also means Exufiber stays intact when wet, without the need for further reinforcement, making it easy to remove in one piece during dressing changes. 1 2 3 You can use Exufiber in combination with Mepilex® Border Flex a unique combination of Flex Technology and Safetac®
- Softly conforms for greater comfort 2
- Locks in exudate to reduce the risk of leaks and maceration 4
- Enables an optimal healing environment
- Stays intact for clean and easy, one-piece removal
- Combining Exufiber and Mepilex Border Flex, a unique combination of Flex Technology and Safetac, together delivers the benefits of both dressings and promotes an undisturbed healing environment for the wound.

Exufiber can be used for many types of exuding wounds, such as leg and foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, partial-thickness burns, surgical wounds, donor sites, malignant wounds.
How to use Exufiber
See these easy-to-follow instructions for using Exufiber.
How Exufiber works
The mechanically secured fibres are made of a strong synthetic material that swells upon contact with fluid, locking it securely away. This gives Exufiber higher fluid retention rates compared to many dressings on the market 5 .
The story behind Hydrolock® technology
The fibres in Hydrolock technology are interwoven in such a way that the exudate has less space to circulate freely, and is locked in to the dressing. This gives Exufiber its unique ´lock-in´ properties and high ´dressing integrity´.
The tightly packed fibres keep exudate containing bacteria locked in 6 , preventing the bacteria re-entering the wound bed. By securely retaining exudate 4 , even under compression, Exufiber gives the confidence to leave it in place* , for undisturbed healing.
*For up to seven days, 14 days on donor sites
