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 alginate calcium dressings be changed?
In general, calcium alginate dressings should be changed every 24 to 72 hours, depending on the wound's exudate level, healing progress, and the condition of the dressing. Always follow the guidance of a healthcare provider to adjust based on individual wound conditions.
How do I choose the right size?
Ensure that the 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 Ionized 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.
