Smith+Nephew Durafiber Ag Dressing 2 x 45cm

DURAFIBER Ag Dressing is designed to provide clinicians with a versatile and reliable solution for managing infected chronic and acute wounds. It is a highly absorbent dressing, which provides dual action antimicrobial activity.

Features and benefits

• Highly absorbent It is highly absorbent and minimizes the risk pooling, which may help to reduce the risk of maceration to the surrounding skin.
• Minimal shrinkage It has shown minimal shrinkage which may help to provide sustained coverage of the wound, helping to reduce dead space where bacteria may proliferate.
• Dual action It absorbs pathogenic bacteria away from the wound bed into the dressing, and kills bacteria in the dressing
• Absorbs and retains fluid under compression It absorbs and retains fluid under compression, minimizing risk of leakage whilst providing effective exudate management.
• Fast acting antimicrobial activity It forms a gel within 4 seconds on contact with fluid and has been demonstrated to provide antimicrobial activity for up to 7 days against a broad spectrum of wound pathogens aerobic, anaerobic bacteria including antibiotic resistant Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Vancomysin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE), yeasts and filamentous fungi.
• High tensile strength The cellulose fibers give the dry and gelled matrix of DURAFIBER Ag Dressing in-built structural integrity to ensure high tensile strength, which helps to facilitate an intact one piece removal.
