Durafiber Ag Silver Alginate

Representing the next generation of gel dressings, DURAFIBER products are a series of high-performance, non-woven fiber-blend dressings that offer straightforward one-piece removal. In the process, they create an ideal environment for and anticipate issues involved in healing medium- and heavy-exudate wounds. Using this format, DURAFIBER Ag is a non-woven, absorbent antimicrobial dressing utilizing cellulose ethyl sulphonate fibers and ionic fibers to disrupt and halt pathogenic activity and lessen both infection risks and bioburden. What’s Different About DURAFIBER? DURAFIBER’s non-woven, high-performance blend combines 20% natural-strengthening cellulose fibers with 80% gelling cellulose ethyl sulphonate fibers (CES). The result in a finely spun material that turns into a cohesive gel once in contact with exudate. This combination: • Delivers high wet strength, absorbing and holding onto exudate in the process. • Won’t shrink when wet, thanks to its reinforced fiber construction. • Feels comfortable against the skin by shaping to the wound bed. • Reduces lateral wicking to protect the surrounding skin against maceration. • Reduces cross contamination during removal. • Lessens dead space in the wound, where bacterial may grow, while creating a moist healing environment.
