About XLTA®

XLTA® is an advanced superabsorbent hydrocapillary dressing, meticulously crafted from a proprietary blend of predominantly natural fibers. Designed to address a wide range of wound care needs, XLTA® is unmedicated and chemical-free, offering a safe and biocompatible solution for patients.

What is XLTA®

XLTA® is a sophisticated exudate management system effectively handles varying levels of wound exudate, from low to high and beyond, helping to maintain a balanced and conducive environment for natural healing.

At the core of XLTA®’s innovation lies its triple-action mechanism of hydrocapillary flow, electrostatic charge, and proteolytic enzyme balance. Together, these actions create a comprehensive approach to wound management. Hydrocapillary flow ensures rapid absorption, omnidirectional dispersion, and secure retention of exudate. The electrostatic charge attracts and traps harmful bacteria, cytokines, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), addressing unseen barriers to healing. Proteolytic enzyme balance modulates excessive protease activity, safeguarding healthy tissue and creating optimal conditions for granulation and epithelialization.

XLTA® is more than a dressing—it is an advanced exudate management system that catalyzes natural healing processes. By integrating advanced fluid management, the ability to attract and trap bacteria and harmful elements, and tissue preservation, XLTA® supports the body’s natural healing processes across various wound types, from chronic to acute cases. Its adaptability, combined with atraumatic removal and compatibility as a primary or secondary dressing, makes XLTA® a versatile and indispensable tool for healthcare providers committed to achieving better patient outcomes.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Advanced Mechanism of Action

XLTA® employs an advanced triple-action mechanism of action that sets it apart in comprehensive wound care. By integrating Hydrocapillary Flow, Electrostatic Charge, and Proteolytic Enzyme Balance, XLTA® delivers innovative solutions for managing complex wounds effectively and efficiently.

1. Hydrocapillary Flow

  • Lift-Lock-and-Hold Mechanism: Rapidly absorbs exudate and locks it securely throughout the dressing, preventing fluid pooling and maceration.
  • Omnidirectional Dispersion: Distributes fluids evenly both vertically and horizontally throughout the dressing, and across multiple layers, optimizing moisture levels across the wound bed.
  • Layer-to-Layer Fluid Transfer: Facilitates seamless movement of fluids between dressing layers, enabling management of heavy exudate without compromising dressing integrity.
  • Trapping of Bacteria: Captures bacteria and debris from the wound bed, reducing bioburden and creating a cleaner, more stable wound environment.

2. Electrostatic Charge

  • Targeted Attraction: Positively charged fibers actively attract and trap negatively charged bacteria, cytokines, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), reducing bioburden effectively.

    Deep Tissue Engagement: Draws harmful elements from deeper tissues into the wound bed for removal, fostering a more conducive healing environment.

    Chemical-Free Action: Provides effective wound care without chemicals or medications, minimizing risks of adverse reactions or microbial resistance.

    Unmedicated and Natural: Composed of natural fibers, XLTA® supports the body’s healing processes by managing bioburden naturally and eliminating barriers to healing.

3. Proteolytic Enzyme Balance

  • Regulation of Protease Activity: Modulates excessive protease levels, such as MMPs, to maintain a stable wound environment conducive to healing.
  • Tissue Protection: Protects healthy tissue from enzymatic degradation, ensuring the wound bed remains viable for healing.
  • Catalyzing Healing Phases: Ensures effective protease activity to clear necrotic tissue while preserving healthy cellular structures, supporting smooth transitions between healing phases.
  • Optimized Wound Environment: Creates an ideal environment for granulation and epithelialization, accelerating the wound’s progression through natural healing stages.

XLTA®’s innovative mechanism of action delivers unique capabilities in wound management, addressing both immediate and long-term challenges to support better patient outcomes.

Key Features and Benefits

XLTA® combines cutting-edge wound care technology with a patient-centered approach to deliver exceptional clinical outcomes and user convenience:

  • Gentle and Comfortable:
    Atraumatic application and removal prioritize patient comfort while simplifying use for healthcare providers.
  • Non-Adherent Layers:
    Dual non-adherent surfaces prevent dressing adherence, promoting effortless changes without disrupting the wound bed.
  • Customizable Fit:
    Easily trimmed to accommodate various wound shapes, contours, and cavities, offering superior adaptability to unique wound profiles. Taylor made fit to the needs of the patient and health care professional.
  • Versatile Sizing Options:
    Available in multiple sizes and weights to meet the demands of diverse wound care situations.
  • Streamlined Application:
    Requires minimal supplementary materials for cleaning, securing, or additional support, enhancing workflow efficiency.
  • Reliable Wear Time:
    Suitable for daily dressing changes but capable of remaining in place for up to three days with proper clinical evaluation. Always dress more than one layer when progressing from daily changes.
  • Broad Indications:
    • Suitable for chronic and acute wounds.
    • Effective for both infected and non-infected wound care.
    • Functions as either a primary or secondary dressing layer, adapting to clinical needs.
  • Primary and Secondary Dressing Versatility:
    XLTA® works seamlessly as both a primary dressing, directly managing the wound bed and as a secondary dressing, enhancing absorption and protection when layered over other products.
  • Multiple Layering:
    Can be layered to address high-exudate wounds or complex wound profiles, ensuring effective fluid management and sustained performance.
  • Compatibility with Other Products:
    XLTA® integrates well with other wound care products, but we recommend using it in isolation to maximize its ability to catalyze natural healing processes.
  • Chemical-Free and Unmedicated:
    Free from chemicals and medication, reducing risks of adverse reactions while ensuring patient safety.
  • Natural Healing Support:
    Removes healing barriers and bioburden, creating an environment conducive to the body’s natural recovery processes.
  • Supportive Healing Environment:
    Maintains ideal moisture levels to encourage granulation tissue formation and epithelialization, facilitating efficient wound closure.

With these features, XLTA® ensures effective and adaptable wound care, setting a new standard in advanced healing solutions.

Outcomes and Efficacy

XLTA® provides measurable results that address the core aspects of comprehensive wound care, ensuring impactful and reliable outcomes:
