ZeniGEL-Ag

ZeniGEL-Ag is a sterile, water based amorphous hydrogel containing hydrophilic polymers and a silver compound. The gel rehydrates dry wounds, supports autolytic debridement of necrotic tissue, and absorbs small amounts of exudate to help maintain a moist wound environment. The silver compound acts as a preservative to control microbial growth within the gel during storage. ZeniGEL-Ag contains 0.012% w/w silver.
