Tegaderm Alginate Ag Silver Dressing 4" x 5"
Tegaderm Alginate Ag dressing is an antimicrobial, highly absorbent wound dressing available as a pad or rope that is composed of sterile calcium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose 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. Antimicrobial effectiveness: Reduces a broad spectrum of pathogens, including MRSA and VRE. Soft-gelling absorbency: Conforms to the wound and is soft and pliable. Ensures a moist environment for optimal wound healing. One-piece removal. Condition: Pressure ulcer, wound care.
