Description
- Opticell Ag+ wound dressing uses a unique gelling ChytoformTMtechnology that allows the absorbent fibers of the dressing to transform into a clear and conformable gel.
- •The unique gelling action helps manage drainage and remove dead, damaged and infected tissue from the wound, trapping it for later removal at the dressing change.
- •ChytoformTMtechnology wicks fluid only vertically, not laterally, helping to prevent maceration.
- •Opticell Ag+ delivers broad spectrum antimicrobial efficacy. The dressings contain 0.75% ionic silver by weight. When the dressing encounters a wound environment, silver ions are activated to manage bioburden. The silver inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi, yet is completely harmless to skin cells (noncytotoxic).
- •Indications: Partial- and full-thickness wounds; 1st- and 2nd-degree burns; Diabetic foot ulcers; Venous stasis ulcers; Arterial ulcers and leg ulcers of mixed etiology; Pressure ulcers; Surgical wounds; Donor sites
Opticell Ag Plus Dressings provide the same features and benefits as Opticell, such the unique gelling attributes of Forzagel technology, plus broad spectrum antimicrobial efficacy. Opticell Ag Plus is a silver antimicrobial wound dressing that contains 0.75% ionic silver by weight. The silver ions in the dressing are actived to manage bioburden when they come in contact with the wound. The silver inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi for 7 days. Opticell Ag+ is highly absorbent and has superior wet strength. With the Forzagel technology, when moistened, the absorbent fibers of the dressing transform into a clear and comformable gel. Latex Free.
