Wound fluid exudate is absorbed from the wound bed by VACUTEX
For deep (crater) wounds or for underminded wounds
a ribbon
a stack or even a patchwork of the VACUTEX dressing may be used as packing to absorb the fluid fom the wound bed
VACUTEX takes the exudate away from the wound by accelerated capillary action
By means of lateral wicking
the absorbed fluid is spead in the central layer of VACUTEX
where the wound contact surface remains non-adherent and almost dry
When the central wicking layer is saturated
the excess fluid is tansferred to the third layer and from there it can be absorbed by a secondary dressing
VACUTEX can be used from both sides of the dressing
Once put on the wound
the capillary action is activated and becomes one-directional
