Sorbsan Silver Flat
Creed Health
Description
A sterile, non-woven, calcium alginate dressing with silver. High in mannuronic acid and low in guluronic acid. The fibres swell and form a gel on contact with wound exudate, releasing ionic silver particles to reduce bioburden. Will promote haemostasis in bleeding wounds.
Indications
For moderately to highly exuding wounds. Can also be used on wounds that are infected or likely to become infected.
Contraindications
Known sensitivity to any components of the dressing. Do not use on patients undergoing MRI scans. Avoid contact with electrodes or conductive gels during electronic procedures.
