Silver I, II, III: Chemical characteristics, properties, and anti-microbial activity. Strong enough to be removed in one piece 8ġ Spina C.Designed to reduce the risk of periwound maceration 6.Micro-contours to the wound bed to eliminate dead space where bacteria can live 7.Quickly absorbs and locks away exudate and its harmful components 5,6.Quickly kills at least 99.999% (5 log) of a broad spectrum of bacteria *,3,4Ī proven substrate, this dressing is a carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) gelling fiber dressing designed to help create the optimal healing environment*:.Kills bacteria within a biofilm and prevents biofilm re-formation*, 2.This dressing is the only gelling dressing with Ag OXYSALTS™ Technology (Ag 3+), providing up to 6 times more power than traditional silvers (Ag 1+) * 1: ![]()
