2026-02-12

Dubai, February 12, 2026 – The four-day WHX Dubai 2026 (formerly Arab Health), one of the world’s largest healthcare exhibitions, concluded successfully today. Attracting over 4,300 exhibitors and 235,000 professional visitors from more than 180 countries, the event served as a global healthcare trade hub. SLK Medical, a leading Chinese enterprise in wound care, made a grand appearance with its core Alexer® series products, emerging as a focal point in the Middle East’s wound healing market thanks to its innovative technologies and localized adaptation advantages.

SLK Medical’s exhibited Alexer® series products are tailored to address clinical needs such as chronic wounds and post-surgical healing, which are prevalent in the Middle East:

  • Alexer® Silicone Foam Dressing: Adopting soft silicone adhesive technology, it achieves dual effects of anti-adhesion and high exudate absorption. Suitable for chronic wounds like diabetic foot ulcers and pressure injuries, it perfectly aligns with the medical demands arising from the aging population and rising diabetes prevalence in the Middle East.
  • Alexer® Super Absorbent Dressing: Boasting strong exudate absorption capacity, it rapidly absorbs and locks in large amounts of wound fluid, significantly reducing incision infection rates and the frequency of dressing changes for medical staff, thus providing an efficient nursing solution for surgical clinical settings.
  • Alexer® Silicone Post-Op Dressing: Specifically designed for post-surgical wounds, it combines breathability and elastic fit, ensuring no discomfort when used on joint areas. It can be removed intact during dressing changes to avoid damaging newly formed granulation tissue, meeting the refined nursing needs of high-end private hospitals in the Middle East.
  • Alexer® Silicone Scar Sheets: Based on the moist wound healing concept, it promotes scar softening and repair, suitable for post-surgical scar management. Certified for biocompatibility, it is safe for sensitive skin use.

Anchoring the Blue Ocean of the Middle East, Deepening International Layout
According to industry reports, the Middle East’s wound healing market size exceeded 1.8 billion US dollars in 2025, with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Israel accounting for over 75% of the regional share. The procurement volume of high-end dressings maintains a year-on-year growth rate of 32%. A responsible person for SLK Medical’s overseas market stated at the exhibition: “As a core hub for medical trade in the Middle East, WHX Dubai has built an important platform for us to connect global resources. The Middle East market’s demand for high-quality wound care products continues to surge. Taking this exhibition as an opportunity, SLK will deepen cooperation with local agents, promote the Alexer® series products to enter Saudi Arabia’s national procurement system, and bring Made-in-China intelligent medical solutions to more patients in the Middle East.”
During the exhibition, SLK Medical’s booth received representatives from numerous medical institutions and distributors from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and other countries. Through in-depth communication, multiple cooperation agreements were reached, accelerating the regional market coverage of its products.
