HOW TO HEAL
CHRONIC HEAVILY DRAINING VENOUS ULCERS
Clinical studies below demonstrate extraordinary effectiveness of Enluxtra Self-Adaptive Wound Dressing applications in patients with non-healing venous ulcers, especially heavily draining ones.
Self-Adaptive dressing effectively manages ANY amount of wound drainage and prevents exudate leakage while protecting the peri-wound skin from maceration.

A 53-year-old male presented with a draining lateral venous stasis ulcer on his left lower leg that had been present for several months. Patient is a heavy smoker (1 pack a day) with a history of untreated hypertension, arterial compromise, and refused revascularization (ankle/brachial index: .82).
From a clinician’s perspective, Enluxtra greatly simplifies the tedious process of choosing appropriate wound care dressings, because it is suitable for the entire wound healing continuum and does not need to be switched to a different product when wound conditions change. Enluxtra was effective throughout all conditions and dimensions of the wound in this case. |
EVIDENCE OF INTENSIVE AUTOLYTIC DEBRIDEMENT WITH A SELF-ADAPTIVE WOUND DRESSING

"In summary, treatment of VLUs with an SAWD in conjunction with compression wraps supported efficient autolytic debridement along with significant pain reduction within 21 days by the dressing’s removal of excess exudate, slough, necrotic tissue, and microbial bioburden, as well as its facilitation of the formation of healthy granulation tissue in 2 challenging chronic VLUs." |
Considering an NPWT system for exudate management?
Try ENLUXTRA dressings first if:
- the wound has slough, odor, or is infected;
- the patient is on blood thinners;
- tendons or bones are exposed;
- wound drainage is less than 200 ml of exudate per day;
- any other NPWT contraindications exist.
Enluxtra dressings are able to absorb, lock in and keep away from the wound a vast amounts of exudate:
- one 4"x4" dressing retains 100 ml
- one 6"x6" dressing retains 200 ml
- you may also STACK several dressings to achieve desired level of absorption
Here is a video showing Enluxtra Self-Adaptive Dressings' outstanding absorption capacity which makes them comparable to VAC systems in terms of wound exudate management.

ENLUXTRA BENEFITS FOR NURSES
- Highest absorbency and fluid retention rate on a market.
- Stackability - You may stack several layers of Enluxtra dressings to achieve desired absorption capacity
- Less dressing changes due to outstanding exudate management.
- Long wear time (Up to 7 days).
- Easy slough removal. See how ENLUXTRA supports natural autolytic process.
- Jump starts healing in previously non-healing wounds
- Reduction of bioburden: along with the exudate, Enluxtra absorbs the bacteria and fungus and reliably keeps them away from the wound.
- Works for ANY wound, eliminates complicated dressing selection process: Enluxtra is designed to be used at any wound stage until complete wound closure.
- Significant cost savings.
- Ease of use: easy to apply, easy to remove (see the "How to use" page).
ENLUXTRA BENEFITS FOR PATIENTS
- Highly absorbing: Enluxtra absorbs a lot of exudate - up to 1500% of its own weight. What’s more - it retains the absorbed fluids even under pressure. The impenetrable backing does not allow the absorbed fluid to leak through.
- Odor reducing - odor producing microbial flora stays locked within the dressing.
- Pain-relieving: Enluxtra reduces pain and itchiness without drugs.
