RelipadXtreme uses an advanced wound contact layer that encourages fluid to pass from the surface through to the absorbent layer, but helps prevent it striking back through. This is achieved using hexagonal shaped pores that have a burr on the underside of the layer. The layer is constructed from a superior nylon polymer that prevents adherence to the wound site.

The RelipadXtreme dressing features a wound contact layer on both sides, allowing for correct application in low light conditions. The hexagonal design of the wound contact layer helps prevent strike-through to the back of the dressing.

The pads are packaged in an easy-to-open pouch that can serve as a sterile field for the dressing whilst a wound site is being prepared. One side of the pouch is transparent, assisting clear product identification in low light conditions.
