A sterile, non-woven pad consisting of a high M (mannuronic acid) calcium alginate and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Silver ions are released in the presence of wound fluid. As fluid is absorbed, the alginate forms a soft gel. Effective for up to 7 days.
Soft gel adhesive silver wound dressing provides an optimal, moist wound environment for the promotion of faster closure. The proven, triple-action technology absorbs, retains and transpires for optimal exudates management. It features rapid and sustained antibacterial action, easier application with secondary retention and minimal pain upon removal.
Askina Calgitrol matrix formulation combines calcium alginate and silver alginate with 10% of bounded water. In contact with exudate, alginate matrix forms a soft gel, which enables the continuous release of silver ions from the entire dressing surface. The concentration of silver ions in the wound is maintained for 7 days at the level of 60ppm.
Conformable paste composed of the same ionic silver alginate matrix as used in the Askina Calgitrol Ag flat dressing

KerraContact Ag dressing uses Ag Oxysalts Technology, which is designed with three missing-electrons (Ag3+), while silver contained in other silver dressings is missing only one electron (Ag1+). Kerracontact Ag dressing is a sterile, single use wound dressing effective against a variety of gram-negative and grampositive bacteria for up to seven days. It can be used on dry wounds (when pre-moistened) or in the presence of exudate whereby it allows for transfer of fluids into a secondary dressing.
Silver spray made from ultra-pure water containing 0.003% ionic silver nanoparticles, it has been demonstrated to have a 4 log reduction of the bacterial load within 4 hours, sufficient to kill most bacteria and fungi.
