3M Tegaderm Alginate Ag Silver Dressing 4" x 5" - 10/Box

Tegaderm Alginate Ag dressing is an antimicrobial, highly absorbent wound dressing available as a pad or rope that is composed of sterile calcium alginate, carboxy methylcellulose and an ionic silver complex (silver sodium hydrogen zirco-nium phosphate). When the dressing comes into contact with wound exudate, it releases antimicrobial ionic silver which very effectively reduces the microbial load caused by a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria (MRSA and VRE). It can also be used for wounds requiring autolytic debridement. Suggested applications: Pressure, arterial, neuropathic (diabetic) and venous leg ulcers, post-operative wounds, trauma wounds (dermal lesions, trauma injuries or incisions), graft and donor sites, superficial partial thickness burns
