Frequently asked questions
Does this dressing handle heavy wound drainage?
Yes, this dressing is specifically designed for moderate to heavily exuding wounds. It uses a high-G alginate and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) matrix, which allows it to efficiently absorb and manage excess fluid while maintaining a moist healing environment.
Is the silver content effective for antimicrobial protection?
Absolutely. The dressing incorporates silver-coated nylon fibers that provide lasting antimicrobial protection, helping to reduce the risk of infection in chronic wound management.
Does the dressing stick to the wound bed?
The Silvercel dressing is non-adhesive, meaning it does not have a sticky backing. This helps ensure it can be removed gently without disrupting the healing tissue in the wound bed.
Will this dressing break down during wear?
No, it is engineered to resist premature breakdown. The high-G (guluronic acid) alginate composition provides high structural integrity, allowing the dressing to remain intact while it effectively manages exudate.
Are these dressings adhesive?
No, these are non-adhesive, borderless dressings. You will likely need a secondary dressing or tape to keep the pad securely in place over the wound.
What is the material composition of the pad?
The dressing is made from a unique, non-woven matrix of three main components:
- High-G Alginate: For structural integrity and absorption.
- Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC): To help manage fluid.
- Silver-coated nylon fibers: For antimicrobial protection.
Is this product sterile and safe to use?
Yes, all Silvercel Antimicrobial dressings are professionally manufactured as sterile, single-use medical supplies designed for clinical wound care environments.
Can I use this on different types of chronic wounds?
The dressing is versatile and designed for various chronic wound care applications. Its borderless, square shape makes it easy to apply to different wound sites as needed, provided they are producing moderate to heavy exudate.
How large are these dressings?
Each individual pad is a square measuring 4-1/4 X 4-1/4 inches.
How many dressings come in a pack?
Each unit includes a volume of 10 individual dressings.
