Silver-Infused Dressings: At Wound-care, we offer a wide range of silver-infused dressings to effectively treat infected wounds. Upon contact with wound exudate, the silver is released and works to combat infection. Our selection includes foam dressings, hydrocolloids, alginates, and charcoal dressings, all with the added benefits of silver. These dressings can also be used in conjunction with compression therapy for maximum efficacy. Trust us to provide you with the best options for effective wound care.
Silvercel® dressings are made with a blend of alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and silver-coated nylon fibres that effectively treat chronic wounds. There are two types of silvercel dressings; Silvercel Adhesive Dressing and Silvercel Non-Adhesive Dressing. Both these dressings are used for moderate to heavy exuding wounds. The Silvercel Adhesive Dressing is a hydro-alginate dressing that comprises high G along with other constituents. It consistently releases silver ions for up to seven days and acts as a barrier against bacteria and Candida Albicans. The Silvercel Non-Adhesive Dressing creates a non-adherent wound contact layer for the fast healing of the wound.
