Sterile
This exciting product provides healthcare facilities a low cost, prophylactic method of treatment without changing nursing protocol. In addition to its antimicrobial capabilities these TELFA AMD Non-Adherent Pads have a perforated mylar film with an absorbent core ideal for use as a primary dressing for lightly draining wounds.
TELFA AMD is impregnated with PHMB (Polyhexamethylene Biguanide), a powerful yet safe antiseptic that has a broad range effectiveness against gram positive and gram negative microorganisms including some multi-drug resistant strains such as MRSA and VRE.
How PHMB Works:
