ALGICELL Ag, comprised of a proprietary blend of mannuronic (high gelling) and guluronic (high wet-strength alginic acids, is designed to gel well while keeping its physical integrity for intact removal. The dressing’s high absorption capacity also helps to reduce the risk of tissue maceration and allows for increased time between dressing changes. Unlike other products, ALGICELL Ag does not leave any silver coated nylon thread residue in the wound upon removal of the dressing. ALGICELL Ag provides 1.4% silver – delivered via a sophisticated ionic transfer technology. The net effect is a controlled and sustained release of antimicrobial silver that provides a durable 7-day effect within the dressing. Silver has been used as an antimicrobial since ancient times, and has undergone a resurgence in the last decade. The effectiveness of a silver dressing is influenced by many factors: the type of silver, the length of its antimicrobial activity, its absorptive capabilities and more. ALGICELL Ag addresses these key issues powerfully and is designed to be effective in the management of critically colonized or infected wounds. ALGICELL Ag’s optimal gelling profile - Helps to strengthen dressing when wet - Minimizes fibrous residue - Maintains a moist environment, conducive to wound healing - Remains intact and facilitates ease of removal
