SILVERCEL® Antimicrobial Dressing
WHAT IS IT?
SILVERCEL® is a sterile, non-woven pad composed of a high G (guluronic acid) alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and silver coated nylon fibres.

The unique composition of SILVERCEL® is designed to manage exudates and help control infected or heavily colonised wounds.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
SILVERCEL® has a number of features that can help with controlling
Infection:
• SILVERCEL® minimises the risk of maceration and leakage and has been proven to absorb and retain fluid even under compression
• In vitro studies show that the level of silver released from SILVERCEL® is maintained beyond 7 days
• Designed not to break up in the wound
• SILVERCEL® maintains its strength within a moist wound environment

INDICATIONS:
SILVERCEL® is intended for use in the management of all moderate to heavily exuding partial and full thickness chronic wounds including:
Pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, donor sites, traumatic and surgical wounds. As the product contains alginate it may assist in supporting the control of minor bleeding in superficial wounds. It is also suitable for use under medical supervision, in the management of infected wounds, or wounds in which there is an increased risk of infection.
