Frequently asked questions

Does this dressing help prevent wound infection?

Yes, DermaGinate/Ag is infused with antibacterial silver, which provides essential antimicrobial properties. This makes it an ideal choice for wounds that are currently infected or are at a high risk of infection.

Is this dressing suitable for heavily weeping wounds?

Absolutely. It is specifically engineered with a highly absorbent alginate material designed to manage moderate to heavy exudate, helping to maintain a stable, moist environment that promotes proper healing.

Does it stick to the wound bed?

The dressing is non-adhesive and borderless. When it comes into contact with wound fluid, the alginate material transforms into a gel, which allows it to conform to the wound contours while remaining easy to apply and remove without sticking to the wound bed.

Is it flexible enough for uneven wound shapes?

Yes. The soft, fibrous texture of the alginate material is highly conformable. It is specifically designed to adapt to various wound shapes and depths, ensuring optimal contact and treatment coverage.

Is this product sterile?

Yes, every DermaGinate/Ag dressing is sterile and intended for clinical-grade wound care management.

Does it need an additional secondary bandage?

Because this is a non-adhesive, borderless dressing, it will require an appropriate secondary dressing or securement method to keep it in place on the wound site.

How can I tell when it needs changing?

The dressing is intentionally designed in a light white to off-white color. This allows clinicians or caregivers to easily assess the level of exudate saturation through the dressing, making it straightforward to determine when a change is necessary.

Are these dressings suitable for chronic wounds?

Yes, these are commonly used in professional wound care protocols for the management of both chronic and acute wounds that exhibit moderate to heavy exudate.

What is the primary material used?

The dressing is made from high-quality alginate fibers impregnated with ionic silver, which work together to absorb moisture and inhibit bacterial growth.

How many dressings come in a box?

Each box contains 10 individual sterile square dressings.
