Frequently asked questions
Does this dressing help manage wound moisture?
Yes. Upon contact with wound exudate, the dressing transforms into a soft, conformable gel. This creates and maintains the ideal moisture balance required to support granulation and epithelialization.
How does the silver provide protection?
The dressing is infused with silver chloride, which acts as an antimicrobial barrier to prevent bacterial colonization within the dressing itself, keeping it protected during the healing process.
What is the purpose of the added EDTA?
EDTA is included to sequester zinc ions within the wound. By removing zinc, the dressing helps inhibit the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which are enzymes that can otherwise impede or slow down the healing process.
Is this an adhesive or borderless dressing?
This is a non-adhesive, borderless dressing. It is designed for use in professional wound management protocols where clinicians may choose their own secondary dressing or securement method.
Is each dressing individually wrapped and sterile?
Yes, each dressing is supplied sterile and individually packaged in pouches. Each box contains 10 sterile dressings.
Does this dressing contain latex?
The materials listed for this dressing include animal-derived collagen, sodium alginate, CMC, EDTA, and silver chloride. It does not list natural rubber latex in its composition.
What materials are used in these dressings?
The ZeniCOL Ag dressing is a blend of:
- Animal-derived collagen
- Sodium alginate
- Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)
- Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)
- Silver chloride
Is this suitable for all types of wounds?
This product is designed for professional wound management. Its formulation focuses on managing exudate, regulating MMP activity, and providing antimicrobial protection. It is recommended for clinical use; please consult with a healthcare professional to determine if it is the appropriate choice for your specific wound type.
Can this be cut to a specific size?
The product is a standard 4 x 4 inch square. Because it is designed to turn into a soft gel upon contact with moisture, it is typically applied as is, though you should follow the specific protocols provided by your healthcare provider for trimming medical dressings.
How often should I change the dressing?
Dressing change frequency is determined by the level of wound exudate and the clinical assessment of the wound bed. As a professional wound care product, it should be monitored and changed according to your specific care plan or physician’s instructions.
