HOW TO HEAL PRESSURE ULCERS AND IMPROVE QUALITY MEASURES
QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY
USING ENLUXTRA SMART WOUND DRESSING
Patented technology of ENLUXTRA Smart Wound Dressing not only accelerates the healing process and prevents pressure ulcer worsening, but also jump-starts the healing of the most difficult, stagnant, and stalled pressure ulcers.

CASE STUDY 2:
Fast closure
of stalled stage III PU in
14 days
2 dressing changes.
An 88-year-old female presented to the clinic with a stage 3 pressure ulcer that has been present for 2 months on the left buttock.
After the second Enluxtra dressing change, the wound was 100% epithelialized.
Enluxtra is able to jump-start the healing process in the most difficult pressure ulcers.

HOW DOES ENLUXTRA WORK?
Enluxtra is a smart feedback-driven self-regulating wound dressing. It utilises patented smart polymers and takes into account the constantly changing and non-uniform nature of wounds. It is in fact the ONLY advanced dressing that responds to changes in the wound by changing its local functions accordingly - from super-absorption (Enluxtra has the highest on the market absorption rate) to hydration - and vice versa.
Enluxtra has been proven successful on more than 100,000 of the most complex, "train wreck" wounds of various etiologies, drainage levels and types, and is already adopted by leading hospitals such as Baylor Health, UCSF Medical Center, San Francisco General Hospital and VA Health System, as well as many other health systems throughout the US.
- Enluxtra's adaptive vertical absorption takes away and locks in massive amounts of exudate from the wound, exactly as needed, and never causes desiccation. The process works precisely over exuding parts of the wound, preventing exudate transfer to other parts. The absorbed exudate is NOT RELEASED UNDER HIGH PRESSURE (such as body weight or compression).
- At the same time, Enluxtra's adaptive hydration function takes care of dry parts of the wound keeping them properly hydrated under the dressing.
- When needed, these local functions can be reversed and interchanged, and, as the healing wound evolves, Enluxtra follows up.
See how the process works (click on the video):
- Self-Adaptive technology prevents exudate leakage out of the dressing, protecting peri-wound skin from maceration and from the spread of infection.
- Enluxtra reduces bioburden in the wound and stops biofilm formation. The dressing also evacuates and holds liquefied slough and necrotic tissue debris, as well as bacteria, disintegrated biofilms and other pro-inflammatory components, AWAY from the wound.
- Each freshly applied dressing decreases the bioburden, repairs the periwound area and prevents the introduction of more irritants and microbes that perpetuate bacterial growth. This process results in rapid drainage and odor reduction.
! Continuous non-traumatic natural wound cleansing, together with sustainable and balanced moist healing environment, helps reduce chronic inflammation, reduce drainage and odor, and accelerate wound healing process.
- Enluxtra dressings are able to absorb, lock in and keep away from the wound a vast amount of wound exudate (comparable with NPWT pumps, but at a fraction of the cost):
- one 6"x6" dressing retains 200 ml
- you may also STACK several dressings to achieve desired level of absorption
- Enluxtra never desiccates any wound part; embedded hydrogel protects dry parts of the wound and wound edges from desiccation.
- Enluxtra is inexpensive, covered under Medicare Part B and designed for long wear time, fewer dressing changes and dramatically reduced cost of care.
- Enluxtra is suitable for wounds with any drainage level - from minimal to copious.
- The earlier the treatment is started, the faster and less expensive is the healing.
ENLUXTRA APPLICATION IS SIMPLE
Simple, but critical rules to avoid most common mistakes:
WATCH THIS SHORT VIDEO BEFORE USING ENLUXTRA!
- What if the wound cannot be offloaded?
When offloading is impossible (such as in palliative care), pressure ulcers do not deteriorate further if Enluxtra wound dressing is applied correctly.
- What is the cost of Enluxtra Wound Dressing?
Typical cost of using ENLUXTRA is just few dollars a day for most wounds.
To avoid overpricing always call the manufacturer first at (888) 519-2297 and check the direct prices.
Enluxtra dressings SAVE MONEY because:
-- have superior absorbency and last longer
-- make healing time shorter
-- eliminate the need of expensive topicals such as enzymatics, etc
--improve quality of care and CMS Quality Measures!
Feedback from clinicians includes the following key observations:
- Daily dressing changes for patients with chronic pressure ulcers become unnecessary after switching to Enluxtra. Patients are able to keep the Enluxtra dressing in place for 3-5 days.
- Starting Enluxtra application in early stages results in very fast healing.
- Continuous removal of slough and significant reduction of odor have been noted with use of Enluxtra.
- Enluxtra reduces pain and increases patient comfort.
- Enluxtra provides proper moisture balance for all areas of the ulcer, controls drainage, resolves and prevents maceration, protects wound edge.
