• Advanced wound care dressing made of collagen, sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and silver chloride (AgCl)
• Topically applied wound dressing transforms into a soft gel sheet when in contact with wound exudates
• Maintains a moist wound environment at the wound surface to aid in the formation of granulation tissue and epithelialization

Mode of Use/Application

Debride and irrigate the wound bed with an appropriate wound cleanser or distilled water before application. The use of saline may affect the efficacy of the silver.
Cut the dressing to fit the exact wound size. For heavily exuding wounds, apply the dressing directly to the wound bed. For dry wounds with very little exudate, moisten the wound bed with distilled water to begin the gelling process.
Cover the McKesson Collagen Dressings with Silver with an appropriate secondary dressing.
Dressing may be cut to fit the wound size or layered to manage deep wounds.

Removal & Change Frequency

Daily (or possibly up to 7 days depending on wound type)

Additional Recommended Dressings

Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing depending on the amount of exudate and frequency of dressing change.
