Superabsorbent polymers absorb many times their own weight in liquid and scarcely release any retained exudate, even under mechanical pressure. The wound edges are protected from maceration. Vliwasorb can be used to excellent effect under compression bandages.

Vliwasorb saves time and money thanks to fewer required dressing changes. Less frequent dressing changes allow wounds to rest longer. The dressing promotes wound cleansing through very high absorption and capacity to bind exudate, cell debris, and bacteria. The moist wound environment promotes wound healing.

The dressing reduces the concentration of MMPs and neutrophil elastases.
