Antimicrobial foam dressings
The ALLEVYN Ag range combines effective exudate management and antimicrobial action in one dressing. ALLEVYN Ag is a unique mix of the existing ALLEVYN triple layer foam technology with silver sulfadiazine (SSD) providing long wear time, up to seven days antimicrobial properties.
The SSD is released into the wound bed for up to seven days:
- Effective against a broad range of pathogens, including bacteria, yeast, fungi and antibiotic-resistant strains.
- Easy to use – silver is released when in contact with wound fluid.
Indications
Chronic and acute full thickness, partial thickness or shallow granulating, exuding wounds such as:
- Pressure injuries
- Venous ulcers
- Diabetic ulcers
- Burns
- Fungating/malignant wounds
- Surgically dehisced wounds
- May be used on infected wounds
ALLEVYN Ag is a highly absorbent antimicrobial foam dressing designed for use on exuding wounds.
It has the same fluid handling technology of ALLEVYN, which kills bacteria by releasing levels of silver (44-77ppm) for up to seven days.2-4
This easy-to-use dressing is available in a non-adhesive and adhesive format.
