The wound powder formulated for moist, wet, and hard-to-heal wounds. DeRoyal Multidex Maltodextrin Wound Powder is a clinically proven hydrophilic Maltodextrin NF powder that rapidly fills wound sites with topical nutrients, mixes with exudate to form a moisture-retaining protective coating, controls odor, softens necrotic tissue, and supports granulation tissue growth — even in infected wounds where other products cannot be used. Non-toxic, sterile, and available in three tube sizes.

How Multidex Powder Works

Multidex Powder is formulated specifically for wounds with moderate to heavy drainage — where gel would be diluted too quickly by excess exudate. When applied to a draining wound, the Maltodextrin NF powder rapidly absorbs the exudate and simultaneously mixes with it to form a protective gel-like coating that maintains ideal moisture balance, delivers topical nutrients to the wound bed, and shields the tissue from dehydration and contamination. With 1% ascorbic acid, Multidex brings natural antioxidant support to the wound environment as it heals.

• Maltodextrin NF rapidly absorbs excess exudate and fills the wound site completely
• Mixes with wound fluid to form a protective coating — maintains ideal moisture balance
• Clinically proven to promote granulation tissue growth and epithelial proliferation
• Softens necrotic tissue — supports autolytic debridement without sharp debridement
• Controls wound odor and decreases the amount of purulent exudate
• Penetrates all wound irregularities — fills tunneling and undermining completely
• Effective even on infected hard-to-heal wounds — where many dressings cannot be used
• Safe for diabetic wounds — non-toxic and not absorbed into the patient's system
• 1% ascorbic acid adds antioxidant support to the wound healing environment

Choosing the Right Size

• 6g Tube (46-704) — Single application or trial use. Ideal for very small wounds or evaluating Multidex for a new patient
• 12g Tube (46-703) — Best for small to medium wounds with moderate drainage. Good for short-term treatment courses
• 25g Tube (46-702) — Mid-range size for medium wounds or ongoing treatment where twice-daily changes are needed
• 45g Tube (46-701) — Best value for larger wounds, heavily draining wounds, or ongoing home care and facility use

Multidex Powder vs. Multidex Gel — Which Is Right?

Both Multidex Powder and Multidex Gel use the same Maltodextrin NF active ingredient. The difference is entirely about drainage level.

• Multidex Powder (this product) — For moist to heavily draining wounds. The powder absorbs excess exudate while forming the same protective coating. Change once daily for moderate drainage; twice daily for heavy drainage
• Multidex Gel (3 oz. tube, item 46-712) — For dry or minimally draining wounds. The gel adds moisture and maintains the wound environment. Apply 1/4" thick for shallow wounds; fill to surface for deep wounds

How to Apply

• Debride necrotic tissue as appropriate before applying — follow physician direction
• Irrigate the wound liberally with sterile 0.9% normal saline or balanced salts solution
• Apply Multidex Powder directly into the wound — fill cavity and tunneling wounds to the surface
• For shallow wounds: apply a generous layer over the entire wound surface
• Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing (Covaderm Plus, MultiPad, Sofsorb, or Polyderm Plus)
• Change once daily for minimally to moderately draining wounds
• Change twice daily for heavily exuding wounds
• If secondary dressing adheres, soak with saline for several minutes before removal
