XCell is the only wound dressing that can significantly hydrate and absorb fluid to maintain the ideal moisture balance that wounds require throughout the entire healing process. XCell is specifically engineered to do both simultaneously, or separately, as needed in different areas of the wound.
Soothing ... Documented Pain Relief
In a clinical trial on venous ulcers, XCell demonstrated statistically significant reduction in pain (quantified via a visually graded categorical pain scale). Cool to the touch, XCell soothes painful wound areas as soon as it is applied. And because its unique surface is non-adherent, XCell leaves healing tissue intact when removed.
Significant Clinical Improvement ... Demonstrated in a randomized, controlled clinical study
Continuous Autolytic Debridement XCell’s unique structure promotes continuous autolytic debridement. In a clinical trial on venous ulcers, XCell demonstrated statistically significant improvement in autolytic debridement vs. control.
Improved Time To Granulation Tissue The mean number of days to reach >75% healthy granulation tissue was 43 days for the XCell-treated group compared to 71 days for the control group.
Improved Time To Epithelialization The time to 50% re-epithelialization was 57 days for the group treated with XCell compared to 85 days for the control.
Savings ... Time, materials and resources ... use up to 7 days
XCell provides a new level of convenience and consistency for chronic wound care. As demonstrated clinically, a single dressing can stay on the wound for up to seven days, potentially reducing the time, materials, and costs of frequent dressing changes.
The XCell Dressing is The Only One That
Both Significantly Donates and Absorbs

Dual Functionality Compared to other popular wound dressing types, XCell is the only dressing with significant dual functionality of hydration and absorption. This capability enables XCell Dressings to be used throughout the various phases of wound healing.
Unique Structure Because of their high surface area, the micro-fibers that constitute XCell Dressings, provide active fluid management. This means that XCell both hydrates and /or absorbs fluid depending upon the moisture content present within the wound.
The drawing above illustrates the fluid mechanics of XCell as it regulates the moisture content within the wound.
Non-Adherent with Superb Handling Since the space between the micro-fibers (measured in nanometers) is so small, delicate granulation tissue does not adhere to XCell. XCell is highly conformable, enabling accurate placement within the contours of the wound bed. XCell is structurally stable. It will not turn to gel or change configuration when wet, so there is no residue to clean out of the wound.
Microenvironment Management System Everywhere that XCell is in contact with the wound surface, the dressing is managing the moisture content. If hydration is required in one area while absorption is required in another area of the same wound, XCell handles both simultaneously.
