The professional's guide to wound product selection
Absorbent antimicrobial barrier dressings consisting of five layers: two layers of absorbent rayon/polyester interleaved between three layers of nanocrystalline silver-coated, low adherent polyethylene net. When wet and used with an appropriate secondary dressing they provide moisture to the wound surface.
Absorbent antimicrobial barrier dressings consisting of three layers: an absorbent rayon/ polyester inner core sandwiched between two outer layers of nanocrystalline silver-coated, low adherent polyethylene net. When wet and used with an appropriate secondary dressing they provide moisture to the wound surface.
Consists of a flexible, low adherent polyester layer coated with nanocrystalline silver. Highly conformable, following the body contours to maintain contact with the wound surface. The dressings are low adherent, which helps to minimise wound trauma at dressing changes.

A sterile, non-woven pad consisting of a high M (mannuronic acid) calcium alginate and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Silver ions are released in the presence of wound fluid. As fluid is absorbed, the alginate forms a soft gel. Effective for up to 7 days.
Antimicrobial absorbent foam dressing with an avanced triple-layered construction that combines an absorbent silver sulfadiazine-containing hydrocellular pad sandwiched between a perforated adhesive wound contact layer and a waterproof top film.

Silicone gel adhesive antimicrobial hydrocellular foam dressing with a minimum of 1.32mg/cm2 silver sulfadiazine.
Absorbent antimicrobial three-layer foam dressings consisting of the following: a silver sulfadiazine containing absorbent hydrocellular pad sandwiched between a perforated non adherent wound contact layer and a waterproof top film.
Soft, sterile non-woven dressing made from two layers of 1.2% ionic silver-impregnated Hydrofiber; sodium carboxymethylcellulose and enhanced with More Than Silver antibiofilm technology, stitched together with cellulose-strengthening fibres. Absorbs wound fluid, and disrupts and breaks down biofilm to expose and kill bacteria, while preventing biofilm re-formation. Provides nine times stronger tensile strength and 50% greater absorption than Aquacel Ag.
Soft, sterile non-woven ribbon dressing made from a layer of 1.2% ionic silver-impregnated Hydrofiber (sodium carboxymethylcellulose) and enhanced with More Than Silver anti-biofilm technology, stitched together with cellulose strengthening fibres. Absorbs wound fluid, disrupts and breaks down biofilm to expose and kill bacteria, while preventing biofilm reformation.
Askina Calgitrol matrix formulation combines calcium alginate and silver alginate with 10% of bounded water. In contact with exudate, alginate matrix forms a soft gel, which enables the continuous release of silver ions from the entire dressing surface. The concentration of silver ions in the wound is maintained for 7 days at the level of 60ppm.
Conformable paste composed of the same ionic silver alginate matrix as used in the Askina Calgitrol Ag flat dressing
Silver alginate dressing. A highly-absorbent, sterile, non-woven, antimicrobial pad composed of calcium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and an ionic silver complex which releases silver ions in the presence of wound exudate.
Wound dressing with antimicrobial silver and strengthening cellulose fibre. The soft, conformable non-woven fabric is made from sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and strengthening cellulose fibre(s) with antimicrobial silver.
Contains silver sulfadiazine as the active ingredient. It works by killing bacteria or stopping their growth.
KerraContact Ag dressing uses Ag Oxysalts Technology, which is designed with three missing-electrons (Ag3+), while silver contained in other silver dressings is missing only one electron (Ag1+). Kerracontact Ag dressing is a sterile, single use wound dressing effective against a variety of gram-negative and grampositive bacteria for up to seven days. It can be used on dry wounds (when pre-moistened) or in the presence of exudate whereby it allows for transfer of fluids into a secondary dressing.
Silver-containing alginate dressing with CMC fibres
A hydrophilic polyurethane matrix with a mild, non-toxic wound cleanser, a soothing moisturiser, a superabsorbent and a semipermeable film backing. Made from small particle elemental, metallic silver, which is not released into the wound bed. Designed to facilitate healing, relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Adhesive and non-adhesive versions available. For all wound types, including painful wounds.
Format of PolyMem Silver designed for cavity wounds. Can be used in both open and shallow cavities. Does not have film backing. Gently expands to fill the wound cavity, keeping the wound bed clean and moisturised while absorbing excess fluid. For all wound types, including painful wounds.
Silver spray made from ultra-pure water containing 0.003% ionic silver nanoparticles, it has been demonstrated to have a 4 log reduction of the bacterial load within 4 hours, sufficient to kill most bacteria and fungi.
Wound contact dressings designed to intimately contact the wound as a primary dressing and permit the passage of fluids.
