Silvercel Non-Adherent Antimicrobial Alginate Dressing with Silver is a primary, non-adhesive wound dressing designed for moderate to heavily exuding wounds. The non-woven pad combines alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and nylon fibers that are coated with silver to provide an antimicrobial barrier at the dressing surface for up to seven days, with actual wear time based on wound exudate and clinical judgment.
The alginate and CMC components absorb exudate and form a cohesive gel that helps manage fluid while maintaining a moist wound environment. Silver-coated nylon fibers are distributed throughout the pad to deliver antimicrobial activity at the dressing–wound interface. An EasyLift Precision Film contact layer is placed on the wound side of the dressing to limit adherence to the wound bed and support more comfortable removal after exudate has been absorbed.
Silvercel Non-Adherent is intended for use on a range of moderate to heavily exuding wounds, including many pressure injuries, venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, donor sites, traumatic wounds, and certain surgical wounds when silver dressings are considered appropriate. The dressing may be used under compression and can also be loosely packed into cavities or undermined areas when used as a wound filler, following standard wound care practice.
