NEW from MONDOMED®: COLDEX® EXTRA

COLDEX® Extra is an open-cell polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydro foam. The interlinked pores are optimized for the treatment of wounds by means of negative pressure (NPWT).

COLDEX® Extra is moistened with sterile water and has an advantageous low pH.

In connection with a freely chosen and suitable vacuum therapy system with negative pressure between 80 mmHg and 150 mmHg,  COLDEX® Extra causes the reliable removal of wound exudate from the wound.

COMPOSITION AND PROPERTIES

Coldex® Extra is composed of 100% High-Tech Medical Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA).

Coldex® Extra is a hydrophilic foam with super absorbent and fluid retaining qualities and therefore suitable for effective removal of wound exudate together with cellular and tissue debris. Coldex® Extra has a favorable influence on the formation of new blood vessels and healthy granulation tissue by uninterrupted drainage from the wound bed of wound exudate and debris with inflammation mediators. Down-regulation of excessive inflammation within the wound bed will have a favorable influence on the healing tendency.
