3M™ Tegaderm™ Alginate Ag Silver Dressings provide the antimicrobial silver, soft-gelling absorbency and fiber strength that professionals need to manage critically colonized wounds at increased risk of infection.
• Antimicrobial effectiveness - reduces a broad spectrum of pathogens, including MRSA and VRE
• Soft-gelling absorbency - conforms to the wound and is soft and pliable
• Ensures a moist environment for optimal wound healing
• One-piece removal
Tegaderm™ Alginate Ag Silver Dressing may be used for: post-operative wounds; trauma wounds (dermal lesions, trauma injuries or incisions); leg, pressure and diabetic ulcers; graft and donor sites; second-degree (superficial, partial-thickness) burns.
Under the supervision of a health care professional, Tegaderm™ Alginate Ag Silver Dressing may be used in the management of critically colonized wounds, or to assist in the control of minor bleeding in superficial wounds.
