Mode of Use/Application

The silver in the wound dressing, when in contact with wound exudate or blood present in wound exudate, has an antimicrobial effect on bacteria held within the dressing, preventing it from being colonized. The absorption of exudate into the dressing forms a gel which assists in maintaining a moist wound environment, supporting autolytic debridement, protects the wound edge and surrounding skin from maceration. Through the gel formation the structure of the dressing remains intact. Debris and any bacteria found in the wound exudate can be retained inside the dressing and removed when the dressing is changed.

Removal & Change Frequency

The dressing should be changed when medically indicated (e.g., when the dressing has reached its absorbent capacity or when good wound care practice dictates a change is needed). The interval between changes should be no more than 7 days. The product can be removed using e.g., sterile forceps. Should the dressing adhere to wounds with lower exudate levels, moisten it with physiological saline solution (0.9%) before changing the dressing so that the healing process is not disturbed. Any gel residue on the wound should be removed when cleansing the wound. Wound cavities in particular should be well irrigated. The device use should be discontinued after 30 days. Dispose in accordance with local guidance.
