SilvaSorb Dressing
SilvaSorb Provides Targeted Antimicrobial Protection for Every Type of Wound
SilvaSorb Dressing harnesses the power of ionic silver, releasing silver at a controlled level for broad spectrum antimicrobial action, without harming tissue cells. The ionic silver is suspended in the SilvaSorb Dressing to control its release over a period of up to seven days. SilvaSorb offers antimicrobial protection over a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi, including MRSA and VRE. SilvaSorb Dressing kills microbes, but is completely bio-compatible with the tissue cells associated with healing.
In addition to controlling bioburden, another key factor in wound healing is managing moisture level. SilvaSorb Dressing is made of special polymer that absorbs more than five times its weight in fluid. That's not only more that all other silver dressings, it's several times more than calcium alginates or similar absorptive products. This allows SilvaSorb to be left in place for longer periods of time compared to other wound dressings, even on heavily draining wounds. If the wound is dry, SilvaSorb Dressing can help. The SilvaSorb dressings are 20% water, giving them the unique ability to donate moisture when needed. The advanced fluid management of SilvaSorb helps provide a moist wound healing environment for the full spectrum of wounds. SilvaSorb Dressing will not dry out a wound and it will not macerate the surrounding skin. SilvaSorb is available in four forms: SilvaSorb sheets for flat wounds with none to moderate exudate, SilvaSorb perforated sheets for flat wounds with moderate exudate, SilvaSorb cavity strands for deeper wounds of all exudate levels, and SilvaSorb gel for dry wounds.
