Excilon® AMD™ Antimicrobial Drain and I.V. Dressings have a unique antiseptic impregnated to provide protection from infection growth both within and through the dressing. Product is gentle to normal skin flora.
• Effective against most organisms
• Limits cross-contamination
• Prevents infections from growing and spreading in the dressing
• Minimizes infection exposure from strikethrough
• Reduces the risk of hospital acquired infection
Excilon® AMD™ Antimicrobial Drain and I.V. Dressings are intended for use as a primary dressing around drains, IV sites and tracheotomies.
Dakin's Solution cleanser may inactivate PHMB. This will reduce dressing efficacy but should not be dangerous to patient health.
