TELFA AMD Dressings are antimicrobial sponge dressings impregnated with PHMB (Polyhexamethylene Biguanide). PHMB is a gentle yet effective antiseptic with broad-range effectiveness against gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms. Manufactured by Covidien, TELFA AMD Antimicrobial Non-Adherent Dressing is also effective against some multi-drug resistant strains such as MRSA. The Telfa™ AMD Antimicrobial Non-Adherent Dressing has a perforated mylar film with an absorbent core for use as a primary dressing for lightly draining wounds.
TELFA AMD Antimicrobial Dressings resist bacterial colonization and reduce bacterial penetration. Clinical studies have shown that Telfa AMD Antimicrobial Dressings have no negative impact on epithelialization.
