The comprehensive guide to wound product selection
Consists of a flexible, low adherent polyester layer coated with nanocrystalline silver. Highly conformable, following the body contours to maintain contact with the wound surface. The dressings are low adherent, which helps to minimise wound trauma at dressing changes.
Antimicrobial barrier dressings indicated for use over partial and full thickness wounds such as burns, surgical sites, pressure ulcers, venous ulcers and diabetic ulcers. May be used on infected wounds. Where the product is used on infected wounds the infection should be inspected and treated as per local clinical protocol. May be used as a wound contact layer in combination with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) for up to 3 days. The dressing’s antimicrobial barrier properties remain effective for a minimum of 3 days.
Sensitivity to silver; during magnetic resonance imaging. Remove prior to administering radiation therapy; a new dressing can be applied following each treatment.
Soft, sterile non-woven dressing made from two layers of 1.2% ionic silver-impregnated Hydrofiber; sodium carboxymethylcellulose and enhanced with More Than Silver antibiofilm technology, stitched together with cellulose-strengthening fibres. Absorbs wound fluid, and disrupts and breaks down biofilm to expose and kill bacteria, while preventing biofilm re-formation. Provides nine times stronger tensile strength and 50% greater absorption than Aquacel Ag.
Soft, sterile non-woven ribbon dressing made from a layer of 1.2% ionic silver-impregnated Hydrofiber (sodium carboxymethylcellulose) and enhanced with More Than Silver anti-biofilm technology, stitched together with cellulose strengthening fibres. Absorbs wound fluid, disrupts and breaks down biofilm to expose and kill bacteria, while preventing biofilm reformation.
Conformable paste composed of the same ionic silver alginate matrix as used in the Askina Calgitrol Ag flat dressing
