Silver Alginate Wound Dressing 2x2 Inch - Antimicrobial 5% Silver Square Sterile Pads

Advanced Antimicrobial Silver Alginate Wound Dressing

This premium calcium alginate dressing with antimicrobial silver technology represents the latest advancement in modern wound care management. Specifically engineered for moderate to heavily exudating wounds, this highly absorbent dressing combines the natural healing properties of calcium alginate with the proven antimicrobial benefits of ionic silver to create an optimal healing environment.

Antimicrobial Silver Technology

Each dressing contains precisely 5% Silver Sodium Hydrogen Zirconium Phosphate by weight, providing sustained antimicrobial protection throughout the wear time. This advanced silver compound releases ionic silver in a controlled manner, helping to reduce bacterial colonization in the wound bed while supporting the body's natural healing processes. The antimicrobial action helps protect against a broad spectrum of microorganisms, making it an excellent choice for wounds at risk of infection or those requiring additional antimicrobial support.

Superior Absorption and Exudate Management

• High Absorbency Capacity: Effectively manages moderate to heavy amounts of wound exudate, reducing the frequency of dressing changes and minimizing disruption to the healing process
• Optimal Gelling Profile: Upon contact with wound exudate, the alginate fibers transform into a soft, conformable gel that maintains intimate contact with the wound bed
• Non-Adherent Properties: The gel formation prevents the dressing from sticking to delicate wound tissue, enabling atraumatic removal and reducing patient discomfort during dressing changes
• Physical Integrity: Maintains structural stability even when fully saturated, allowing for removal from the wound in one piece without leaving residual fibers

Versatile Clinical Applications

This 2 x 2 inch (5.1 cm x 5.1 cm) square dressing offers exceptional versatility in wound care management. The sheet format can be easily trimmed to fit specific wound dimensions, ensuring optimal coverage and minimal waste. The dressing is particularly effective for:

• Cavity wounds requiring packing or dead space filling
• Partial and full-thickness wounds with moderate to heavy drainage
• Pressure injuries (stages 2-4)
• Diabetic ulcers
• Venous and arterial leg ulcers
• Surgical wounds and donor sites
• Traumatic wounds with exudate
• Minor bleeding control applications

Advanced Design Features

• Non-Occlusive Construction: Allows oxygen exchange while maintaining a moist wound healing environment
• Hemostatic Properties: May help control minor bleeding through the calcium-sodium ion exchange process
• Conformable Material: Adapts to wound contours for complete coverage and optimal contact
• Trimmable Design: Can be cut to size without compromising dressing integrity or performance
• Latex-Free: Not made with natural rubber latex, reducing the risk of allergic reactions in sensitive patients

Clinical Benefits

The combination of calcium alginate and antimicrobial silver creates a synergistic effect that addresses multiple aspects of wound healing. The alginate component provides superior absorption and maintains a moist wound environment conducive to healing, while the silver component offers continuous antimicrobial protection. This dual-action approach helps reduce bioburden, manage exudate, and support the progression through the healing phases.

Important Usage Information

This dressing requires a secondary dressing to hold it in place and protect the wound from external contaminants. Secondary dressings may include transparent films, foam dressings, or gauze wraps, depending on the clinical situation and patient needs. The dressing is designed for single-patient use only and should not be reused. Each dressing is individually packaged and sterilized to ensure safety and efficacy.
