Designed not to stick!

SILVERCEL™ is an antimicrobial hydroalginate dressing. Each non-woven pad uses a combination of alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and nylon fibers coated with silver to absorb exudate, reduce bioburden, and create a moist healing environment. At the same time, EASYLIFT™ technology provides a non-adherent contact layer that allows for painless, non-traumatic removal.

What is it?

• SILVERCEL™ NON-ADHERENT Dressing is a non-woven pad composed of alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and silver-coated nylon fibers, with a non-adherent wound contact layer.
• Size: 2x2in
• Box of 10

How does it work?
Non-adherence
EASYLIFT™ Precision Film Technology is designed to allow for:

• Easy and pain free removal
  
• Intact removal, minimizing the risk of dressing
  adherence to the wound bed and fibers shedding
  
• Effective protection of the newly formed tissue
• Exudate absorption while ensuring non-adherence to the wound

Benefits & Features

• 75% less adherent than AQUACEL® Ag1
  
• Over 40% of patients consider pain at dressing change to be the worst part of living with a wound
  
• Effective protection against wound pathogens
  
• 29% more absorbent in vitro than AQUACEL® Ag
  
• SILVERCEL™ NON-ADHERENT Dressings can be covered and secured with a non-occlusive secondary dressing. Acelity offers a range of non-occlusive secondary dressings, such as one from the KERRAFOAM™ Dressings.
• SILVERCEL™ NON-ADHERENT Dressings may also be effective in the treatment of burns without causing problems such as drying out and adherence

Antimicrobial action

• Provides a sustained release of silver ions in vitro for up to 7 days
  
• Is effective against a broad spectrum of wound pathogens, reducing wound malodor
• Facilitates effective antimicrobial barrier protection for up to the entire wear time, depending on exudate levels

Absorbency

• Is able to deal with moderate to heavily exudating wounds
  
• Allows for effective exudate management
• Helps maintain a moist wound environment beneficial to wound healing

When to use it

SILVERCEL™ NON-ADHERENT Dressing is intended for use in the management of all moderate to heavily exudating partial and full-thickness, chronic and acute wounds including:

• Pressure ulcers
  
• Venous ulcers
  
• Diabetic ulcers
  
• Donor sites
  
• Traumatic and surgical wounds

User guide

Before application

Refer to the instructions for use. Select a size of SILVERCEL™ NON-ADHERENT Dressing that is slightly larger than the wound. Debride when necessary and irrigate the wound site in accordance with appropriate wound management protocol. Remove any excess solution from surrounding skin.
