May help to reduce infection in partial and full-thickness wounds
Third-degree burns; known sensitivity to silver; non-external use; re-use (single-use only)
Sterile activated charcoal cloth sandwiched between layers of nylon/viscose rayon cloth. Apply as a primary or secondary dressing. Exudate will reduce the dressing’s effectiveness. Can be cut to size.
