MediPlus Super Foam Ag Dressing

Description

MediPlus Super Foam Ag Dressing consists of soft, thick and elastic polyurethane foam, sandwiched between an outermost layer of breathable polyurethane film and wound-contacting polyethylene net containing silver metal ions. The edges of the outermost and the innermost polyurethane film are sealed together with a unique technique to prevent leakage when foam is saturated with exudates.

Features

• Soft, breathable outside film provides moisture vapor transmission from the foam layer for exudates management
• Wound-contact layer is laminated PE net, preventing sticking to wounds
• 3 Layers are laminated together to produce a soft, thick and elastic wound dressing
• Outside film acts as a bacterial barrier, and the silver inhibits bacterial growth in the dressing, which helps to prevent colonization
• Silver is added to the dressing to prevent bacterial growth within the dressing
• Contains 79 ppm of elemental silver bound within the wound dressing
• Provides physical separation between the wound and external environments to assist in preventing bacterial contamination of the wound
