POLTX_Fibers *Product In Development*

*Product in Development* POLTX_Fibers 200 gsm are soft and conformable non-woven dressings made from sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) fibers and strengthening cellulose fibers with antimicrobial polymer quaternary polyethyleneimine (QPEI). The QPEI polymer when incorporated into the wound dressing, and in contact with wound exudate, prevents bacterial colonization in the dressing due to its antimicrobial activity. The absorption of exudate into the dressing forms a gel that assists in maintaining a moist wound environment, supports autolytic debridement and improves the wound edge and surrounding skin from maceration. Through the gel formation the structure of the dressing remains intact. When dry, POLTX_Fibers can easily be cut to the size of the wound. Even when the dressing is moist, as gelled fiber, its structure remains intact. The high vertical absorption of exudate into the fiber dressing improve the wound environment and the wound edge. The product can also be used under compression. POLTX_Fibers are provided in different sizes, in rope or pad, with a basic weight of 200gsm and composed of 80% w/w CMC and 20% Tencel/Lyocell fibers
