3D animations on the function of super-absorbent polymers (SAP) in the treatment of wounds. The process of storing exudate in the super-absorbent polymers is visualized. The charge inside the SAP is changed by the exudate, the polymer expands and can absorb further exudate. At the same time, Ringer’s solution is released to moisten the wound.
