Physiotulle Ag Non Adherant Dressing

Wound CarePhysiotulle Ag is a hydrocolloid based non-adherent wound contact layer with silver, designed to prevent and control wound infection. Easy to handle and easy to use Physiotulle® Ag does not stick to gloves and scissors when applied. Its thin and flexible structure makes it an ideal contact layer for a broad range of exuding wounds. Comfort and protection Physiotulle® Ag does not dry out or stick to the wound bed resulting in an atraumatic removal. Physiotulle® Ag can be used in combination with a broad range of absorbent secondary dressings. Sustained and controlled silver release When in contact with wound exudate, the dressing absorbs the fluid and silver is released into the wound bed. Silver release is sustained throughout entire wear time (up to 3 days). Supports faster wound healing The open weave structure of Physiotulle® Ag allows absorption of wound exudate into a secondary absorbent dressing and the dressing has been shown to reduce ulcer area of infected wounds by 55% in 4 weeks (3,5). Mode of action On wound contact, the hydrocolloid particles absorb the exudate and silver is released into the wound bed. Composition Physiotulle® Ag consists of a knitted polyester net impregnated with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) particles suspended in petrolatum. It contains silver sulphadiazine which has a broad spectrum of antibacterial effect against both gram positive and negative bacteria including MRSA (4,5). Usage Physiotulle® Ag is indicated for low to highly exuding chronic and acute wounds. Physiotulle® Ag can be used to progress wounds with delayed healing due to critical colonization or where risk of infection. Is safe for use with MRI (2). Physiotulle Ag 3927 15x15cm 10 per package
