• ANTIMICROBIAL PROTECTION: Provides antimicrobial action using metallic silver to help reduce and prevent colonization of bacteria and yeasts, including Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans.

• PROTECTIVE ENVIRONMENT: Creates an environment that helps protect skin and reduce the risk of moisture‑related complications.
• ANTIMICROBIAL DURATION: Offers effective antimicrobial action for up to five days, depending on moisture, soil level, and use conditions.
• SKIN FOLD MANAGEMENT: Supports the management of skin folds and other skin‑on‑skin contact zones.
