Cross-linked polymer based gels that may be made into sheets. Unlike antibiotics, silver works through a multimodal mechanism of action whereby pathogens from exudating wounds are safely eradicated.
Can hold themselves in place but are non-adherent and thus can be removed without causing additional trauma to the wound bed.
Highly absorbent: Can absorb 2X their weight in exudate.
Key Features & Benefits
- Extended wear time -- up to seven days
- Low adhesion -- less likely to cause pain during dressing changes
- Provides moist environment which is idea for wound healing
- Continuous, sustained release of silver cations for broad spectrum antibicrobial activity against a broad range of bacteria
- Controls the volume of wound fluid and optimizes the wound environment for a balanced healing process
- Enhances patient comfort by providing cooling effect
