Silver pad adhesive plaster and wound dressing

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document describes the mechanism, features, versions, and specifications of silver pad adhesive plasters and wound dressings. These products utilize silver ions for antimicrobial purposes, providing a barrier against infection and aiding in wound healing.

Mechanism of Action: The silver pad consists of a bilaminate construction with an absorbent nonwoven layer containing silver sodium zirconium phosphate. Silver ions are non-migratory and act only at the pad surface when in contact with microorganisms. Wound fluid activates the silver ions, which then target microorganisms within the fluid.

Features:

Antimicrobial barrier to prevent colonization on the dressing.
Prophylaxis against infection, especially for high-risk wounds.
Biocompatible and compliant with ISO 10993 standards.

Versions:

Cure Aid® Silver: First aid adhesive bandages with antimicrobial silver pads, available in various backing materials. Indicated for minor cuts and scratches.
Pharmapore® Silver: Soft, conformable post-operative dressing with cushioning and antimicrobial properties. Suitable for dry to minimal drainage wounds, partial thickness pressure ulcers, and burns.
Pharmapore® PU Silver: Waterproof and bacteria-proof polyurethane film dressing with antimicrobial silver pad. Indicated for similar uses as Pharmapore Silver.

Silver pad adhesive plaster and wound dressing-1

Silver pad adhesive plaster and wound dressing Description: Bilaminate construction, made of absorbent nonwoven, laminated with HDPE silver colour net. The nonwoven layer contains silver, in form of silver sodium zirconium phosphate. This bilaminate construction is used as an island pad in many of pharmaplast products. Mechanism of action of silver: The silver ions of silver pad are non-migratory. When silver pad was tested for zone of Inhibition, there were no inhibitions of growth around the sample but only under the sample. This means that silver ions do not leach from the pad and act only at the pad surface when they come in contact with microorganisms. Wound ﬂuid passes up through the perforations in the wound contact layer and into the silver containing pad Once inside the dressing, the wound ﬂuid activates the silver. Silver ions can then transfer to the surface of the micro-organism (within the wound ﬂui
