Protects the healing environment with silver. - Demonstrates rapid in vitro (laboratory) antimicrobial efficacy.
- Sustained release of silver ions combats bacterial and fungal growth and may help reduce infection in the wound. - Effectively inhibited the growth in vitro of 150 clinically isolated microorganisms, including antibiotic resistant strains. - In vitro sustained release of silver greater than or equal to 3 days. - Does not stain the wound.
Provides superior tensile strength and is highly absorbent. - Alginate forms a gel for the absorption and management of moderate to large volumes of exudate. - Conformable when moist, to fit the shape and size of the wound. - Wet tensile strength allows for easy intact removal.
