Frequently asked questions
How does this dressing support the healing process?
ZeniCOL Ag promotes healing through two main mechanisms:
- Moisture Balance: It transforms into a soft, protective gel upon contact with wound exudate, creating an ideal moist environment for granulation and tissue growth.
- MMP Regulation: The inclusion of EDTA helps inhibit excess Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, which is crucial for supporting the natural healing cycle of a wound.
What is the purpose of the silver chloride infusion?
The silver chloride is infused into the dressing specifically to provide an antimicrobial barrier that prevents bacterial colonization within the dressing itself, helping to maintain a cleaner wound environment.
Does this dressing adhere to the skin on its own?
No, this is a non-adhesive, borderless dressing. You will need to secure it in place with a secondary dressing, such as a medical tape, gauze wrap, or an adhesive cover, depending on the wound location and your specific care protocol.
Is this dressing intended for deep wounds?
ZeniCOL Ag is designed for complex wound management. Its ability to transform into a gel allows it to conform effectively to the wound bed. Because it is a 2 x 2 inch square, it is best suited for wounds that fit within that surface area; please consult your clinician to determine if it is appropriate for the depth and type of your specific wound.
Is this product safe for sensitive wounds?
ZeniCOL Ag is designed to create a soothing gel sheet that helps maintain moisture, which is often beneficial for complex wound management. However, because it contains animal-derived collagen, if you have known sensitivities to animal products, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before use.
What materials are used in this dressing?
The dressing is composed of a high-performance blend of:
- Animal-derived collagen
- Sodium alginate
- Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)
- EDTA (for MMP regulation)
- Silver chloride (for antimicrobial protection)
How many dressings are in one box?
Each box contains 10 sterile pouches, with one 2 x 2 inch dressing per pouch.
Do I need a secondary dressing to use this?
Yes. Since the ZeniCOL Ag is a non-adhesive, borderless dressing, it does not have an integrated adhesive backing. You should use a secondary dressing to keep it secured and in place.
How long does it take for the gel to form?
The dressing begins its transition into a soft gel as soon as it makes contact with wound exudate. The rate of this transformation can vary depending on the level of moisture and drainage present in the wound.
Is this dressing sterile?
Yes, ZeniCOL Ag dressings are provided sterile to ensure safety and prevent contamination when applied to a wound.
