DETAILS
Material
- Alginate fiber
- Silver ions
Main Mechanism
- Silver alginate dressings release silver ions upon contact with wound exudate. The more exudate there is, the greater the release of silver ions.
- Silver ions bind to enzyme proteins in bacterial cells, rendering them inactive and killing the cells.
- The silver ions in the dressing bind with metal proteins in the wound, increasing the concentration of ions such as zinc, calcium, and copper, which promotes wound healing.
- Silver ions bind to the DNA and RNA of bacterial cells, viruses, and other pathogens, preventing them from replicating.
Key Features
- High absorption capacity
- Broad spectrum antimicrobial effect
- Haemostatic effect
- Promotes healing through a moist wound environment
- Comfortable and soft, painless removal
Cautions
- Clean the wound with saline and dry the surrounding skin before use.
- Do not soak the silver ion dressing in saline before use.
- A secondary dressing, such as silicone foam dressing or Island dressing, should be used in combination.
- Based on clinical use, it is recommended to change the dressing every 2-4 days.
- It should not be applied to dry wounds or wounds with exposed bones, muscles, tendons, or fascia.
You asked, we answered.
How often should silver alginate dressings be changed?
- Moderate to high exudate wounds: Change every 24–48 hours.
- Low exudate wounds: Change every 48–72 hours.
- Signs of infection or dressing saturation: Change immediately.
- Always consult with a healthcare provider for the specific needs of the wound and the patient.
How do I choose the right size?
Ensure that the silver alginate dressing extends at least 1-2 cm beyond the wound edges. This helps to form a seal and prevents the dressing from lifting, while also minimizing the risk of contamination.
How to choose between silver ionized alginate dressing and calcium alginate dressing?
- Choose Silver Alginate Dressing if the wound is infected or at high risk of infection, or if you're dealing with heavily exudating wounds.
- Choose Calcium Alginate Dressing for clean, non-infected wounds that need good absorption, moisture balance, and support for tissue regeneration without the need for antibacterial properties.
