Description

  • Absorbent, non-woven fiber sheet containing ionic silver, ideal for everyday dressing solution
  • High silver content with fast initial elution to result in a dual-purpose dressing proven to be effective at exudate management and eradicating a broad spectrum of microorganisms including antibiotic resistant strains such as MRSA, MRSE, and VRE
  • Manages wound by absorbing exudate to form a soft gel that intimately conforms to the wound bed and aids in maintaining a moist wound environment
  • Sustained silver release works by silver salts attaching to the fibers and ionic silver releasing when in presence of wound exudate
  • CMC-based material features quilting pattern design enhanced with hidden reinforcement layer for improved wet integrity and superior tensile perfomance allowing the clinician the confidence that the dressing remains intact when removed
  • Calcium ions present within the alginate fibres of the dressing exchange with sodium ions found in the wound exudate; Donation of calcium benefits the wound by stimulating cytokines essential to the wound healing process
  • Nylon reinforcement layer to allows intact application and removal
  • Indicated for the management of wide variety of wound types, infected or at risk of infection, including decubitus ulcers (pressure ulcers), venous and arterial leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers, graft and donor sites, post-operative surgical wounds, first and second degree burns, and cavity wounds
  • Shown to effectively manage and suppress colonization and proliferation of the following: three gram positive bacteria (Vancomycin- resistant enterococcus (VRE), Streptococcus mutans and Staphylococcus aureus), three gram negative bacteria (Enterobacter cloacae,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Serratia marcescens), and yeast (Candida albicans) through in-vitro testing
  • Higher absorbency characteristics minimize dressing change frequency, required clinician time, and disruptions to the patient (May remain in-situ for up to 7 days)
  • High wet strength ensures a moist wound environment conducive to the wound healing process and aids autolytic debridement
  • Individually packaged for single, sterile use
  • Not Made with Natural Rubber Latex
  • Packaged: 1 Each, 5 Each Per Box, 10 Boxes Per Case

Frequently asked questions

Does this dressing help fight resistant bacteria?

Yes. This dressing features ionic silver, which provides fast-acting antimicrobial protection against a broad spectrum of bacteria. It is specifically designed to effectively manage and eradicate antibiotic-resistant strains, including:

  • MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)
  • MRSE (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis)
  • VRE (Vancomycin-resistant enterococci)
How long can the dressing stay on the wound?

Due to its high-performance absorbency, this dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days. This extended wear time is beneficial as it minimizes the frequency of dressing changes and reduces disruption to the wound healing process.

Does it remove easily without leaving residue?

Yes. The dressing is designed with a unique quilting pattern and a hidden nylon reinforcement layer. This construction ensures the dressing maintains its structural integrity, allowing for clean, intact, and confident one-piece removal.

Does the dressing help stimulate natural healing?

Yes. Through a specialized calcium-sodium ion exchange process, the dressing manages bacteria while simultaneously donating calcium to the wound site. This calcium release helps stimulate cytokines, which are essential components for the body’s natural healing process.

Is the material safe for those with latex allergies?

Absolutely. The McKesson Silver Gelling Fiber Dressing is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients with latex sensitivities.

How does it handle heavy wound drainage?

This dressing is specifically engineered for moderate to heavy exudate management. It is composed of Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) and High G Calcium Alginate. Upon contact with wound fluid, these materials transform into a soft, conforming gel that locks in moisture while maintaining an ideal environment for healing.

Can I use this on different types of ulcers?

Yes, this dressing is highly versatile and is recommended for a variety of clinical and home-care applications, including:

  • Pressure ulcers
  • Venous and arterial leg ulcers
  • Diabetic ulcers
  • Surgical wounds
  • Burns and graft sites
Does the dressing require an additional cover?

Yes, this is a non-adhesive dressing without a border. It is intended to be paired with a secondary dressing or a compression bandage to hold the gelling fiber securely in place over the wound bed.

Is the dressing comfortable for the patient?

Patient comfort is a priority. The material transforms into a soft, conforming gel upon contact with wound fluid. This allows the dressing to fit intimately to the unique contours of the wound bed, reducing pressure and irritation while promoting autolytic debridement.

Are the dressings individually packaged for sterility?

Yes. Each box contains 5 individually packaged sterile dressings, ensuring that each piece remains sterile and ready for application in clinical or home health environments.
