Pharmagel Ag®, Pharmagel Ag® Comfort - 1

Heal the world with Zeomic antimicrobial effect. Pharmagel Ag is hydrogel wound dressing sheet that combines antimicrobial effect of Zeomic silver with fluid management, cooling sensation and moisturizing effect of hydrogel to provide ideal environment for wound healing. Pharmagel Ag is laminated with bacteria proof and waterproof polyurethane film outermost layer. Pharmagel Ag Comfort is same as Pharmagel Ag but adhesive PU film extends to allow application without secondary fixation dressing or fixation tapes. Amorphous Pharmagel Ag is in form of amorphous hydrogel which promotes rapid but gentle debridement of necrotic tissue, whilst being able to loosen and absorb slough and exudates. It can also be used to provide a moist wound healing environment during the later stages of wound healing. Zeomic: Nothing to worry about Zeomic is an inorganic antimicrobial agent that can be used in a powder or emulsion form, by incorporating silver ions,with antimicrobial power, into the three-dimensional alumino-silicate nanoporous structure of zeolite. Mechanism action of silver: 1-Damage to bacterial cell membrane, could lead to the leakage of cytoplasm from the cell, which would result in dehydrated and shrunken cells. 2- Silver atoms bind to thiol groups (-SH) in enzymes, and subsequently,cause the deactivation of enzymes. 3- Silver associates with DNA once they enter the cell, thus preventing bacterial cell replication, interruption of DNA strands Silver particles Interruption 1 of cell c c C c membrane C c c_
