This dressing is an antimicrobial hydroalginate dressing with EASYLIFT™ Precision Film Technology that enables pain-free removal1,2 and effective protection of the newly-formed tissue3 while minimising fibre detachment.1
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.
