Frequently asked questions

Does this help manage heavy wound drainage?

Yes, Suprasorb A + Ag is specifically engineered for heavily exuding wounds. It is made from high-absorbency calcium alginate fibers that transform into a protective gel upon contact with fluid, effectively managing moisture to create an ideal healing environment.

How long can this dressing stay on?

This dressing offers reliable bacterial contamination protection for up to 3 days, which helps reduce the frequency of dressing changes for patients with heavy exudate.

Does it have antimicrobial properties?

Yes, the dressing is infused with silver ions. This provides a localized antibacterial barrier that is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

Is this dressing easy to fit into deep wounds?

Absolutely. The material is soft and pliable, allowing it to easily pack deep wound cavities and conform securely to irregular wound beds for optimal contact.

Does the dressing stick to the wound bed?

No, it is designed to prevent adherence. When the calcium alginate fibers interact with wound exudate, they form a stable, moist gel layer that helps ensure the dressing does not stick to the wound bed, making removal easier.

Is this an adhesive dressing?

No, this is a non-adhesive, borderless dressing. You may need an additional secondary dressing or securement method to keep it in place depending on your specific clinical protocol.

Do I need to clean the wound before application?

Yes, it is recommended to follow standard clinical protocols for wound cleansing before applying the Suprasorb A + Ag dressing.

What is the primary material used?

The dressing is crafted from calcium alginate fibers derived from natural brown seaweed, known for their exceptional fluid-wicking capabilities.

How many dressings come in a box?

Each box contains 10 individual sterile dressings.

Is this suitable for a home health setting?

Yes, it is designed for use in a variety of settings, including home health environments, clinical wound care, and medical facilities.
