CLAIMED BENEFITS: Helps the dressing conform to contoured areas of the body without detaching or restricting movement while also adjusting to the shape of the wound bed. Creates an ideal healing environment by controlling bacteria and inflammation, reducing pain in the process and moving the healing process along. Can be applied to both open and closed injuries. Releases high-purity silver particles over a larger area to control bacteria populations and lessen the wound’s bioburden. Absorbs 10 times its weight in exudate by taking on a gel consistency. Provides autolytic debridement to slough off necrotic tissue. Is easily and painlessly removed during dressing changes, preventing damage to the wound bed and surrounding tissue. Does not need to be damped for application. Has a thin, clear, breathable backing that allows you to observe the wound’s progress.
