Wound Details
Key Findings and Data:
- The dressing exhibited excellent antimicrobial activity, reducing the risk of infections.
- Excellent anti microbial activity was demonstrated with a >4 log reduction of bacterial numbers of major wound pathogens including drug-resistant strains within 24hrs.
- Shrinkage of the dressing was minimal and wet tensile strength was >3 Newtons; 3 times stronger than competitor dressing..
- The volume of fluid absorbed in a 10x10cm dressing was 80-85ml; twice the volume of a leading competitor

Key Insights
- The combination of chitosan’s inherent antimicrobial properties and innovative microfibre structure makes this dressing highly effective for wound care.
- The study confirms that MaxioCel, utilizing BMG technology, provides superior exudate management, infection control, and bioactive wound healing properties, making it a valuable advanced wound care solution.
- The findings suggest that this dressing could significantly improve healing outcomes in chronic and complex wounds.
