The cost-effective way to syphon wounds

Sumar Max and Sumar Lite are a range of highly absorbent dressings that have the capacity to draw fluid away from the wound, resulting in an effective rapid capillary action. The rapid capillary action draws the interstitial fluid from the wound bed and deeper tissue, transporting bacteria-laden exudate, necrotic debris & slough to the core of the dressing, reducing the risk of maceration.

The syphoning action of the dressing makes the product an ideal, cost-effective, step down from negative pressure systems (e.g. when there is less exudate, fewer canister changes, when the wound is more manageable, etc). Equally the product can be used where mobility of the patient is required, where a seal cannot be made, or on smaller drainage wounds.

Advantages of using as a step down negative pressure system
• Easy to use
• Huge cost saving
• Patient can be potentially discharged earlier, freeing up valuable bed space and nurse time
• Patient can be mobile
• Patient can be taught to apply dressing
• Can be used where seal cannot be made using negative pressure systems
