MaxioCel Chitosan Wound Dressings

MaxioCel is a gelling fiber dressing made from 100% chitosan, indicated for the management of moderately to heavily exuding chronic and acute wounds. Highly absorbent and conformable, MaxioCel forms a soft, cohesive gel on contact with wound exudate, while maintaining a moist environment for optimal wound healing. Now available through Safe N Simple at SnS-Medical.com.

Main Benefits

• A versatile primary dressing suitable for a wide range of moist wounds, helping streamline dressing selection.
• Exudate management — highly absorbent gelling fibers retain wound exudate and can be used under compression bandaging.
• Supports autolytic debridement — helps reduce sloughy and necrotic tissue, supporting a clean wound bed.
• Supports wound healing with a corresponding increase in granulation and epithelialization.
• Barrier against bacterial penetration — in vitro testing has shown effective protection against common gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens.
• Helps control minor bleeding in superficial wounds.

How MaxioCel Works

MaxioCel is a highly absorbent and conformable dressing that forms a soft, cohesive gel on contact with wound exudate, while maintaining a moist environment for optimal wound healing.

Where to Use MaxioCel

Under medical supervision, MaxioCel is suitable for a variety of wound types, including:

Pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, skin abrasions, leg ulcers, surgical wounds, donor and graft sites, lacerations (trauma wounds), and 1st- and 2nd-degree partial-thickness burns. Refer to IFU for full instructions.

Published Evidence

• Exudate Management: MaxioCel is highly absorbent, with up to 2.3× the absorbency of CMC-Ag fiber, retaining exudate within the chitosan fibers.
• Bacterial Barrier: In vitro testing against pathogenic gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria demonstrated effective protection against bacterial penetration.
• Clinical Results: In an independent 11-patient UK evaluation over 4 weeks, patients treated with MaxioCel showed an average wound area reduction of 68% (from 44.1 cm² to 14 cm²), with corresponding reductions in sloughy and necrotic tissue and increases in granulation and epithelialization. Individual results may vary.

Clinician Insights

“MaxioCel was the factor that started this wound in a healing trajectory after ~18 months being open.” — Andrew Marxen, BSN, RN, CWCN, CWHS, MBA · Med City Wound Services, USA

“MaxioCel’s acceleration of the healing process was vital for this patient group, for whom delayed healing risks infection and amputation.” — Kate Gilbert, Specialist Podiatrist · Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, London, England

Directions for Use

Cleanse the wound and follow local protocol. Apply MaxioCel directly to the wound surface using aseptic or clean technique. Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing suited to the exudate level and wound location. For removal, irrigate with sterile saline or water if needed and gently lift away. Refer to the Instructions for Use, or the “Patient Guide” in the resources section, for full guidance.
