Frequently asked questions
Does this dressing help manage wound moisture?
Yes, it is designed to create an optimal moist wound environment. Upon contact with wound exudate, the dressing transforms into a soft, cohesive gel that promotes the development of granulation tissue and epithelialization.
Is the antimicrobial protection effective?
The dressing is infused with silver chloride, which serves as a potent antimicrobial barrier. This helps to prevent colonization within the dressing itself, providing added infection control.
Can this dressing help regulate MMP levels?
Yes, it is formulated with collagen and EDTA. This combination works specifically to target and deactivate elevated Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) levels, which can otherwise delay the natural healing process.
Can I trim the dressing to fit the wound?
Absolutely. The non-adhesive, borderless square sheets are highly adaptable. They can be cut to fit specific wound dimensions or layered to accommodate deeper wound cavities.
Is this product safe for sensitive skin or allergies?
The product is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for those with latex sensitivities. However, please note that it is contraindicated for patients with known allergies to fish-derived collagen or silver.
How often does the dressing need changing?
The frequency depends on the specific type of wound being treated. Generally, dressings may be changed daily or remain in place for up to 7 days as directed by a healthcare professional.
What types of wounds is this suitable for?
It is a versatile solution designed for a wide range of wounds, including:
- Pressure ulcers
- Diabetic ulcers
- Venous ulcers
- First- or second-degree burns
- Abrasions and donor sites.
Does the dressing require a secondary cover?
Yes, because the material is non-adhesive, it requires an appropriate secondary dressing to secure the sheet effectively in place over the wound site.
Is this product suitable for third-degree burns?
No, this dressing is not intended for use on third-degree burns. Please consult a medical professional for the appropriate treatment for severe, full-thickness burns.
Is this dressing eligible for FSA spending?
Yes, this McKesson Silver Collagen Dressing is FSA eligible, making it a convenient option for managing healthcare expenses.
