Gentell Calcium Alginate Ag (Silver) Dressings feature a sterile, antimicrobial, comfortable, fiber-structured alginate with high absorbency. These advanced alginate dressings fight bacteria and a broad spectrum of microorganisms while absorbing and containing exudate in a moist healing environment. A steady release of silver and a reaction between the calcium in the dressing and the sodium in the wound exudate creates a gel that fights infection and is easy to remove from the wound.

Product Overview

Description:
The dressing is designed for effective management of moderate to heavily exuding wounds. Its unique fiber structure maximizes absorption while helping maintain a moist wound environment that encourages optimal healing. The sustained release of silver offers ongoing antimicrobial protection, actively reducing the risk of infection.

• Uniformly absorbs, collects, and contains 20 times its weight in exudate 
• Controlled release of antimicrobial silver protects the wound
• Reduces odor primarily caused by bacteria

Ingredients:
Comprised of natural calcium alginate fibers and ionic silver, the dressing transforms into a soothing gel on contact with wound exudate, ensuring comfort during wear and making dressing changes less painful.

Applications:
Suitable for a variety of wounds, including leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, and traumatic injuries. This dressing adapts easily to wound contours for complete coverage.

Resources:
For guidance on best practices, forms and step-by-step instructional videos are available to support both clinicians and caregivers.   {if I can find any links I will supply them so they can be included here}
