• Manages exudates in moderately to heavily exuding wounds by absorbing exudate from the wound
• Forms a soft gel that intimately conforms to the wound bed and aids in maintaining a moist wound environment
• Reinforcement layer allows intact application and removal of the dressing

McKesson Gelling Fiber Dressings with Silver can be used in the management of moderately to heavily exuding chronic and acute wounds, including pressure injuries (partial- and full-thickness), leg ulcers (venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers, and leg ulcers of mixed etiology), diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds that heal by primary intent such as dermatological and surgical incisions, surgical wounds left to heal by secondary intention such as dehisced surgical incisions and donor sites, and traumatic wounds.

Contraindicated for use on patients with a known sensitivity to the dressing or its components: silver, alginates, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), or nylon. Not for surgical implantation.

• McKesson Gelling Fiber Dressings with Silver are intended for single use only. Do not reuse in whole or in part as doing so may compromise sterility and/or the performance of the dressing.
• Do not use the dressing with petrolatum-based products as the dressing performance (absorbency) may be impaired.
• When wound infection is evident, systemic antimicrobial therapy should be considered and appropriate medical treatment initiated. McKesson Gelling Fiber Dressings with Silver may be used, under medical supervision, in conjunction with systemic antibiotics.
• For use by or under the guidance of a health care professional only.
• McKesson Gelling Fiber Dressings with Silver must not be ingested and must be kept away from children and animals.
• Where required, additional measures should be used as indicated, eg, use of compression bandaging for venous ulcers, use of systemic antibiotics, and frequent monitoring when wound infection is present.
• McKesson Gelling Fiber Dressings with Silver should not be used during pregnancy or lactation because of the lack of data concerning the effects of silver in utero and transmitted via breast milk.
• Avoid contact with electrodes or conductive gels during electronic measurements, eg, electrocardiogram (ECG) and electroencephalogram (EEG).
• The dressing must be removed prior to patients undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations.
• McKesson Gelling Fiber Dressings with Silver are not indicated for use on burns.
• Do not use dressing on dry or lightly exuding wounds.
• If the dressing adheres to the wound and is not easily removed, moisten with sterile saline solution prior to removal.
• If used under compression, wounds need to be monitored more closely and dressings changed more frequently due to higher amounts of wound exudate.
