Shop Silver Impregnated Dressings
Silver impregnated dressings can help infected or slow-healing wounds by combining germ-fighting silver with advanced moisture control.
One example of a silver impregnated dressing is PROMOGRAN PRISMA Matrix Ag, which turns into a soft gel when it touches your wound fluid. This creates the right environment for healing while fighting off harmful bacteria. You can use it on many types of wounds – from diabetic ulcers to pressure sores and surgical sites.
Need a silver impregnated dressing that handles lots of wound fluid? The Exufiber Ag+ Antimicrobial Gelling Dressing uses special Hydrolock technology to turn into a gel when wet. It fights different types of bacteria, helps control wound odor, and keeps your wound at the right moisture level.
The UrgoTul Ag/Silver Contact Layer works differently. It’s a flexible mesh that puts silver right on your wound. Its special formula (called TLC-Ag) includes silver particles to fight tough infections while helping reduce swelling. Tests show it can clear up to 99.9% of biofilms in just one day.
Providing antimicrobial action, AQUACEL® Ag Advantage is designed to be a primary dressing for difficult, infected and acute wounds with varying amounts of exudate.
“Effective dressing but over-priced for any senior on a fixed budget. This one-time-use 4 inch by 5 inch dressing works well but costs as much as one day’s food.”
UrgoTul Ag/Silver can help restore contact layer with silver in both chronic and acute wounds. This product is a flexible, conformable polyester mesh contact layer bandage that delivers broad-spectrum antibacterial activity directly to the wound site.
“I learned about this product while I was in Wound Care. This product works. It helps heal your skin. I recommend this product!!”
Formulated with Hydrolock® technology, Exufiber® Ag+ is a sterile, non-woven dressing that transforms into a gel once exposed to exudate. Conforming to the wound bed, it quickly controls and offers sustained antimicrobial action against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and mold and provides a degree of odor control.
“It seems to work well, allowing my skin to dry out and heal. Long standing wound which wouldn’t heal is in it’s way to healing.”
“Seems to be working as it supposed to on a deep wound.”
For a combination of higher absorption and antimicrobial action, apply a PolyMem MAX Silver Foam Dressing to the wound bed. For use as a primary or secondary dressing, PolyMem MAX Silver provides non-adhesive construction for atraumatic removal and adaptable composition for cleansing, filling and moistening wounds.
“This product cleared up a stubborn wound in less than a week. I had been dealing with it for close to a month.”
