Silver Calcium Alginate Dressings

Silver Calcium Alginate Dressings and Ropes are soft, conformable wound dressings impreg-
nated with Antimicrobial Silver. The silver-impregnated calcium alginate fibres, when in
contact with wound exudate or blood, form a gel which creates a moist wound healing
environment. The silver in the wound dressing has an antimicrobial effect upon various types
of microorganisms including Staphylococcus Aureus and Escherichia Coli. Calcium Alginate
Dressings with Antimicrobial Silver are sterilized and must not be re-sterilized. The products
are sterile unless the package is opened or damaged.
