SILVERCEL Hydro-Alginate Antimicrobial Dressing with Silver - Dressing, highly-absorbent, hydrophilic gel-forming, antimicrobial

Intended purpose

SILVERCEL Hydro-Alginate Dressing is intended for use in the management of all moderate to heavily exuding partial and full-thickness chronic wounds including: decubitus (pressure) ulcers, venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, donor sites, traumatic and surgical wounds. As the product contains alginate it may assist in supporting the control of minor bleeding in superficial wounds. It is also suitable for use, under medical supervision, in the management of infected wounds, or wounds in which there is an increased risk of infection.

Functional description

The dressing is a sterile, non woven pad composed of high G alginate, carboxy methyl cellulose and silver coated fibres. The dressing manages exudates in moderate to heavily exuding wounds, creating an environment for effective wound management. The silver fibres kill a broad spectrum of microorganisms associated with the bacterial colonization and infection of wounds. In moderate to heavily exuding wounds the dressing maintains a moist wound healing environment and allows for intact removal.
