ASSIST Silver Absorbent Antimicrobial Low-Adherent Dressings – Extremity

Description

ASSIST Silver Absorbent dressings combine the moisture management benefits of AFM’s three-part design with a proprietary ceramic silver ion technology. This controlled release of ionic silver inhibits a broad spectrum of infection-causing microbes, including antibiotic-resistant strains such as MRSA. The release of silver into the dressing is activated by the body’s own sodium with antimicrobial activity for up to seven days. The patented, low-adherent layer in ASSIST Silver Absorbent dressings eliminates the need for a separate non-adherent layer, which saves O.R. and nursing time during application and maintenance.
