Durafiber Ag is an absorbent, non-woven, silver-containing antimicrobial dressing made of cellulose ethyl sulphonate fibers. The ionic silver in the dressing provides antimicrobial activity against a broad spectrum of common wound pathogens, which helps reduce bacterial bioburden and the risk of infection.
Durafiber Ag is designed to rapidly form a clear, cool gel on contact with wound fluid. This gel absorbs excess fluid, locks exudate away from the wound, provides a moist environment to support autolytic debridement, and conforms intimately to the wound bed. The high integral wet strength of Durafiber Ag facilitates easy one-piece removal from moist wound beds and cavity wounds, minimizing trauma to the wound and pain to the patient on removal.
Durafiber Ag can be used with a range of cover dressings, including Allevyn - Wound Dressings and Profore - Multi-layer High Compression Bandaging System. Durafiber Ag may also be used with Opsite - Transparent Adhesive Film Dressing on lightly exuding wounds.
Similar silver dressings are available, such as Mepilex AG Antimicrobial Foam Dressing.
Features and Benefits- Clean, one-piece removal results in minimal nursing time for dressing changes.
- Effective fluid management allows for up to 7-day wear times.
- Comfortable gel matrix with minimal shrinkage promotes optimal dressing efficiencies and uncompromised patient comfort.
- Sustained antimicrobial activity with Durafiber Ag may help reduce associated costs of infection.
