FibDex - Model NB0044 - Sustainable Wood-Based Nanocellulose Wound Dressing for Natural Wound Healing
CE-marked FibDex wound dressing (NB0044) has been designed to improve efficiency of wound treatment by offering superior performance and improved healing results. Intended use for FibDex is skin graft donor site wounds. FibDex nanocellulose wound dressing is a one-time application, which maintains an optimal moisture balance for wound healing and detaches itself from the wound after epithelization.
Using UPM’s patented technology, FibDex contributes to the healing process. Innovation has been developed together with Finnish researchers and health care personnel. Made from natural materials, FibDex is porous, breathable and highly biocompatible with cells and tissues.
Clinical studies 1,2 using FibDex reported that:
- FibDex gave significant improvement in elasticity of the scar and POSAS results for scar appearance
- Fibdex healed the wounds with equivalent efficiently, healing time and level of epithelization
- FibDex dressing facilitates low pain experience
- Nanocellulose originates from nature, FibDex offers sustainable choice without animal or human-origin components
