Durafiber Silver Alginate

Description

DURAFIBER Ag is an absorbent, non-woven, silver containing antimicrobial dressing composed of cellulose ethyl sulphonate fibers. The ionic silver in the dressing provides antimicrobial activity against a broad spectrum of common wound pathogens which may help to reduce bacterial bioburden and the risk of infection.

DURAFIBER Ag is designed to rapidly form a clear cool gel on contact with wound fluid. This gel absorbs excess fluid, locks exudate away from the wound, provides a moist environment to support autolytic debridement and conforms intimately to the wound bed. The high integral wet strength of DURAFIBER Ag facilitates easy one-piece removal from moist wound beds and cavity wounds so minimizing trauma to the wound and pain to the patient on removal.

DURAFIBER Ag can be use in conjunction with a range of cover dressings including ALLEVYN◊ Wound Dressings and PROFORE◊ Multi-layer High Compression Bandaging System. DURAFIBER Ag may also be used with OPSITE◊ Transparent Adhesive Film Dressing on lightly exuding wounds.
