Gentell Calcium Alginate Ag (Silver) Dressings are a sterile, antimicrobial,
comfortable, fiber-structured alginate with high absorbency. These advanced
alginate dressings fight bacteria and a broad spectrum of microorganisms while
absorbing and containing exudate in a moist healing environment. A steady
release of silver and a reaction between the calcium in the dressing and the
sodium in the wound exudate creates a gel that fights infection and is easy to
remove from the wound. May be used on wounds, such as leg ulcers, pressure
ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and surgical wounds or minor conditions such as
lacerations, abrasions, skin tears and minor burns.
Features
- Reduces odor primarily caused by bacteria
- Controlled silver release provides antimicrobial protection to the wound
- Uniformly absorbs, collects, and contains 20 times its weight in exudate
with a sustained release of antimicrobial silver
Directions:
- Irrigate wound with Gentell Wound Cleanser and gently dry the skin
around the wound.
- Choose the appropriate size dressing based on the dimensions of the
wound.
- Cover wound with a secondary dressing such as Gentell Super Absorbent,
Gentell Comfortell or Gentell Bordered Foam Dressing.
- Repeat daily or as ordered by a physician.
