3M™ V.A.C.® Granufoam Silver™ Dressing Kit, M8275099/10, Large, 26 cm x15 cm x 3 1/5 cm, 10 Ea/Cs
About the product
Combine the demonstrated benefits of V.A.C.® Therapy2-4 with the antimicrobial benefits of silver using V.A.C. Granufoam Silver Dressings. Featuring micro-bonded silver evenly distributed throughout, our silver foam dressings expose the wound bed to silver, even after sizing.
Product details
Providing an effective barrier to bacterial penetration, V.A.C. Granufoam Silver™ Dressings can help reduce infection in chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute and dehisced wounds, partial thickness burns, ulcers, flaps and grafts. Our silver foam dressings come in direct contact with the wound, eliminating the need for additional silver dressing layers that may inhibit negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) and granulation while allowing for uniform distribution of silver in one dressing.
Engineered with hydrophobic silver-bonded polyurethane ether foam, our V.A.C. Granufoam Silver Dressings contain micro-bonded metallic silver particles (400-600 microns in size), which are uniformly distributed throughout the dressings, providing silver even after sizing.
The only silver dressing engineered specifically for V.A.C.® Therapy Systems, providing an effective barrier to bacterial penetration
and may help reduce infection in chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute, dehisced wounds; partial-thickness burns; ulcers; flaps and grafts.
- Effective protection — Based on microbial testing, our silver foam dressing effectively creates a barrier against bacterial penetration and the protective silver ion reduces aerobic, gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, helping to reduce wound infections.
- Available in three sizes: small, medium and large.
- Each kit includes one V.A.C.® Granufoam Silver™ Dressing, one V.A.C.® Drape and SensaT.R.A.C.™ Pad Tubing.
- Easy-to use — in one simple step, our silver foam dressing combines the benefits of V.A.C.® Therapy and silver in one dressing, eliminating the need to add an adjunct silver layer.
- Uniform silver distribution — Containing 99.9% of pure metallic micro-bonded silver distributed throughout, our silver foam dressing exposes the wound bed to silver, even after sizing.
- Effective pathogen reduction — 99.9% of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, antibiotic-resistant bacteria and fungal organisms eliminated within the first 24 hours.
- Sustained protection — 72 hours of sustained antimicrobial protection with daily exposure to fresh inoculum.1
