Product details
Silvercel Non-Adherent Dressing acts against a broad spectrum of germs that are pathogenic to the wound, including MRSA, MRSE and VRE.¹ ⁴ This antimicrobial effect is secured by a sustained release of silver ions, lasting up to 7 days depending on wound condition and exudate level.¹ The dressing is a non-woven pad composed of alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and silver coated nylon fibres, with EASYLIFT™ Precision Film Technology built into a nonadherent wound contact layer.
