Active Fluid Management
Milliken's patented Active Fluid Management™ (AFM) provides ACTIVE fluid movement rather than passive absorption provided by traditional dressings. AFM dressings are crafted with special polymeric materials that preferentially move fluid to one side of the dressing. This pumping action does not wear out over time, permitting less frequent dressing changes. Because AFM pumps away excess fluid throughout the indicated wear time of the dressing,
AFM can help reduce maceration.
AFM dressings maintain a small amount of fluid at the surface to promote moist wound healing. AFM dressings allow clinicians to take a proactive approach to wound care by optimizing moisture balance and helping to prevent maceration.
