Frequently asked questions
Does the silver content provide effective antimicrobial protection?
Yes. Each dressing is plated with approximately 99% elemental silver and 1% silver oxide. When moisture from the wound activates the material, it releases silver ions to establish a robust antimicrobial barrier.
Is the material comfortable for frequent dressing changes?
The dressing is constructed from non-adherent knitted nylon, which is specifically designed to minimize tissue trauma. This significantly reduces pain and discomfort for the patient during routine removal or replacement.
How long can this dressing stay on the wound?
SilverDerm 7 is engineered for convenience and extended care, offering an extended wear time of up to 7 days.
What types of wounds is this dressing suitable for?
It is a versatile solution suitable for a variety of clinical and home health applications, including:
- Partial-thickness wounds
- Full-thickness wounds
- Pressure ulcers (stages 2-4)
Is the dressing meant to be a primary contact layer?
Yes, it is designed to be used as a primary contact layer directly against the wound, which should then be covered with a secondary absorbent dressing.
Are these dressings provided in a sterile condition?
Yes, every unit is supplied sterile to ensure a clean and safe application suitable for clinical wound care environments.
Does the knitted nylon design offer flexibility?
The knitted nylon material is thin and flexible, allowing it to conform effectively to the wound surface for close, consistent contact.
How many dressings are included in each box?
Each box contains 10 individual 4 x 4 inch square dressings.
Does the non-adhesive nature affect its application?
Because it is a non-adhesive contact layer, it is specifically intended to rest against the wound bed without sticking to it, making it much easier to change without damaging newly forming tissue.
Does the dressing work automatically upon application?
It works through a simple activation process: the presence of wound moisture naturally triggers the release of silver ions from the dressing, providing active management of the wound site.
