Dimora Medical Launches MegaSorb Foam Dressing for Elderly Wound Care

New York – – September 29, 2026 -- Dimora Medical unveiled a silicone foam wound dressing built on its MegaSorbTM Dual-Action Absorption System, targeting moderate to heavy exudate wounds common among elderly patients with pressure ulcers and chronic wounds. The launch coincides with the 2026 United Nations International Day of Older Persons, observed under the theme "The Age of Longevity: Rethinking Systems for Longer Lives."

MegaSorb foam absorbs up to 15 times its own weight in wound exudate

The dressing uses a high-porosity polymer with an open-cell structure reaching up to 90%, enabling it to lock in exudate within one second and reduce leakage and backflow risk. Dimora Medical positions the technology as a direct response to gaps in traditional wound dressings, which frequently fail to manage moderate to heavy exudate, causing maceration of surrounding skin and painful dressing changes.

X-Rite Pantone, Sun Chemical, CMA Imaging Launch CanJET Can Proofing

Grand Rapids, Mich. – September 29, 2026 -- X-Rite Pantone, Sun Chemical, and CMA Imaging have made the CanJET digital proofing ecosystem commercially available across North America, targeting beverage brands, can makers, and packaging converters seeking to cut color-approval cycles on metal packaging.

The system combines CMA Imaging's CanJET printing hardware, Sun Chemical's extended color gamut inks, PantoneLIVE digital color references, and X-Rite spectrophotometer measurement technology.
