Product Overview
Gentell - Algicell Ag - 88545 - Silver Alginate Dressing 4 x 5 Inch Rectangle Sterile
The Gentell Algicell Ag Silver Alginate Dressing is a sterile, antimicrobial wound dressing designed to manage moderate to heavily exuding wounds. Infused with silver ions, it provides effective protection against a broad spectrum of bacteria, reducing the risk of infection while promoting optimal wound healing. The alginate fibers form a soft gel upon contact with wound exudate, maintaining a moist environment and facilitating autolytic debridement.
Features:
- Antimicrobial Protection: Silver ions inhibit bacterial growth, minimizing infection risks.
- High Absorbency: Alginate fibers efficiently absorb exudate, converting into a gel to maintain moisture balance.
- Non-Adherent: Minimizes trauma during dressing changes, reducing patient discomfort.
- Sterile & Single-Use: Ensures hygiene and safety for wound care applications.
- Convenient Size: 4 x 5-inch rectangular shape suitable for various wound types.
Specifications:
- Material: Silver alginate
- Dimensions: 4 x 5 inches (rectangle)
- Sterility: Sterile
- Packaging: Individually wrapped
- Indications: Partial- and full-thickness wounds, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, and traumatic injuries.
Use Suggestion:
For optimal results, cleanse the wound with a sterile saline solution before applying the Algicell Ag dressing. Ensure the dressing fully covers the wound bed and overlaps onto healthy skin. Secure with a secondary dressing if needed. Change the dressing when exudate saturates the pad or as directed by a healthcare professional. Dispose of used dressings properly.
