The Proximel Ag is a 5-layer silver and silicone foam dressing with an adhesive border that helps protect the wound against a wide range of pathogens during healing. The five layers include a silicone wound contact layer, an antibacterial silver polyeurethrane foam layer, a nonwoven layer, a superabsorbent core, and protective backing.
The Proximel Ag Dressing has a 99.99% antimicrobial effect against a wide range of pathogens, including staph aureus, EF, strep pyrogenes, E. coli, pseudomonas aeruginosa, and klebsiella aerogenes.
This dressing offers a sustained release of silver over time, so patients can wear it for up to 7 days. The silicone adhesive is gentle on the skin and removes easily for repositioning the bandage.
What Do Each of the 5 Layers Do?
- Silicone Wound Contact Layer: distributes wound exudate fast and evenly through the layer, which allows for a gentle and pain-free removal
- Antibacterial Silver Polyurethane Foam: offers additional cushion and comfort to the dressing while keeping pathogens out
- Nonwoven Layer: spreads the exudate fluid to distribute it more evenly within the dressing for optimal absorption
- Superabsorbent Core: helps minimize the risk of wound maceration while quickly absorbing and retaining high levels of exudate
- Protective Backing: has high MVTR to maintain moisture balance in the wound; is smooth, comfortable, waterproof, and acts as a bacterial barrier for further wound protection
