Product Overview
Simpurity FiberGel AG Alginate Wound Dressing with Antibacterial Silver is a soft, absorbent, gel-forming material that activates upon contact with exudate. The gelling action creates an optimal environment for natural wound healing. With high conformity, FiberGel AG Alginate with Silver easily molds to various wound shapes, supports debridement, and allows one-piece removal with minimal damage to newly granulating tissues. This primary dressing uses ionic silver particles to help fight infection and manage exudate. Safe N Simple's Simpurity wound dressings cover a wide range of needs relating to wound care and exudate management.
Alginate Composition
Simpurity Wound Dressing Alginate with Antibacterial Silver is designed with an alginate compound made from natural seaweed. Other alginate products often consist of fibers of calcium alginate formed into a loose fleece. With Simpurity, this structure has been improved by entangling the fibers to improve the dressing's strength when it becomes soaked with blood or exudate. Because of this, Simpurity Alginate with Silver can absorb 15-20 times their weight in exudate.
Gelling Fiber
By combining the alginate composition with FiberGel technology, these dressings help manage drainage and removal of dead, damaged, and infected tissue from the wound. As the exudate is absorbed into the dressing, an advanced gel forms and assists in maintaining a damp environment for optimal wound healing and the formation of granulation tissue.
Exudate Management
Simpurity FiberGel AG then incorporates antibacterial silver that is activated on the wound's surface based on the amount of exudate and bacteria in the wound, ensuring the provision of the exact right environment for optimal wound healing. AG dressings have been known to reduce and prevent infection, alter metalloproteinases within wounds, and can provide a broad range of antimicrobial activity for the wound. With this three-part process, Simpurity FiberGel AG dressings are the ideal choice for wound management.
