Each sterile ribbon is infused with ionic silver which allows it to gel upon contact with wound exudate and kill pathogens as it contains them, protecting the wound. This dressing provides up to 7 days of protection against MRSA, VRE, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus among other aerobic and anerobic pathogens, yeasts and antibiotic-resistant bacteria!

 

Moderately to highly exudating chronic and acute wounds where there is an infection or increased risk of infection.
