SILVERCEL Antimicrobial Alginate Dressing - 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" Square Pad

SILVERCEL Antimicrobial Alginate Dressing provides the broad-spectrum antimicrobial action of silver with enhanced exudate management properties of alginate technology. The Sivercel Alginate Dressing comes in a 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" square pad. Use SILVERCEL as a primary dressing. Alginate forms a gel on contact with exudate. Cover with a non-occlusive secondary dressing. Do not use Alginate on third-degree burns or with patients with known sensitivity to silver or alginates.

• Effective antimicrobial strength against a broad range of microorganisms in vitro
• Effective against over 150 clinically relevant strains of bacteria, including resistant strains MRSA, MRSE and VRE
• Maintains tensile strength in vitro—even when wet
• Allows for easy, intact removal of dressing in moderate to highly exuding wounds

...with Proven Endurance.

• Sustained release of silver for ongoing antimicrobial protection
• Maintains balanced release of silver ions within wound fluid for up to 7 days in vitro
• Ideal for use with compression therapy
• Does not stain the wound
• Highly absorbent antimicrobial dressing
• Alginate forms a gel to absorb and manage moderate to large volumes of exudate
• When moist—conforms to the wound bed for complete coverage
