14 January 2020

Convatec Group Plc (“Convatec”), a leading global medical technology company, announced January 14th 2020 the release of  ConvaMax™  the NEW superabsorber dressing distributed by Convatec. The global superabsorber market is currently greater than $100m growing at +7% ¹

ConvaMax™  superabsorber wound dressing is used for the management of highly exuding wounds, including leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and dehisced surgical wounds.

ConvaMax™  superabsorber manages excess moisture to help protect skin integrity². Where there is a real risk of skin damage due to high levels of exudate, ConvaMax™  is ideal. It is available in non-adhesive and silicone adhesive forms, providing complete flexibility to support your care protocol. This includes under compression bandaging or with an additional primary dressing.

At Convatec, we are committed to innovating our product pipeline providing both our customers and patients with further differentiated technologies and complete solutions for managing chronic and acute wounds. 

David Shepherd, President of Convatec’s Advanced Wound Care Franchise, believes that: “ConvaMax™ will add to our already strong wound portfolio. ConvaMax™ gives us a great product for highly exuding wounds; the reception from our sales and marketing colleagues and the expert customers who have seen the dressings already has been extremely positive, and we look forward to a similar reaction as countries begin to launch the product in the coming months.”
