Is there evidence for Advazorb absorbent foam
dressings?
- In a recent
survey, over 77% of clinicians rated high comfort in use of the Advazorb family
as a 4+ on a scale of 1-51.
The Advazorb
family of products rates especially high for comfort based on the structure of
the dressing and the many features that improve overall patient satisfaction.

extensive maceration to surrounding tissue after 48 hours dressed with Advazorb
non-adherent foam cut to shape for added comfort and security. The ulcer was
