Frequently asked questions
Does this dressing require water to activate?
No, the Algidex Ag Silver Foam Dressing does not require activation with sterile water or any other liquids. It is ready to use directly out of the sterile packaging.
How long can this dressing stay on the wound?
This dressing provides sustained antimicrobial protection against a broad spectrum of pathogens for up to seven days.
Will this dressing stick to the wound bed?
No, it is a non-adhesive dressing specifically designed to be removed without sticking to the wound, which helps minimize trauma and discomfort during dressing changes.
What pathogens is this effective against?
The silver-impregnated formula provides immediate and sustained activity against a wide range of wound pathogens, including MRSA and E. Coli.
How does it manage heavy wound drainage?
The dressing is engineered for effective exudate management. It uses a combination of alginate and polyurethane foam to absorb fluid, which helps keep the wound bed moist while protecting the surrounding skin from maceration.
Do I need a secondary dressing to hold it in place?

What ingredients help promote wound healing?
The dressing features a unique, high-performance blend of three key components:
- Silver: Provides continuous antimicrobial protection.
- Alginate: Enhances absorption and moisture management.
- Maltodextrin: Works in synergy to help maintain an ideal healing environment.
Is this suitable for use at home?
Yes, it is designed for both clinical and home healthcare settings. However, it is intended for professional medical application, so please ensure the wound bed is properly prepared according to standard clinical protocols.
How many dressings are in one box?
Each box contains 5 sterile dressings, each measuring 4 x 4 inches.
Does the foam provide extra padding?
Yes, the integrated foam backing is specifically designed to provide increased absorption while also offering cushioning for enhanced patient comfort during the healing process.
