Silver Alginate / Antimicrobial Wound Dressing

Sequa®Sorb Ag+ Silver Alginate Wound Dressing is an antimicrobial wound dressing for the management of moderately to highly exuding chronic and acute wounds where there is an infection or an increased risk of infection.

FEATURES

High absorption and fluid retention:The silver alginate wound dressing can absorb large amounts of wound exudates then forms a gel to protect the wounds and encourage wound healing.
The gel forming characteristic of the alginate can help the provision of moist healing environment.
Wet integral and easy removal: The silver alginate wound dressing can be removed in one piece.
Effective for a wide spectrum of organism and antimicrobial efficiency for 7 days:
Silver Alginate Dressing has been proven in vitro to kill wound microorganisms within the dressing and help to create an antimicrobial environment. It has shown antimicrobial effect against relevant wound bacteria, such as Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE), Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VRE), Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumonia ssp pneumonia. It has shown antifungal effect against Candida albicans in vitro setting [ Ref 1 ]

Antibacterial effect lasts up to 7 days

This highly absorbent dressing derived from seaweed. Combining with the silver ionic, it is antimicrobial and can be applied on the infected wound or wound with risk of infection. A strong hydrophilic gel formed when contacting with the exudate, to control wound secretion levels and to minimize bacterial contamination. The antimicrobial efficiency is achieved via sustained silver ions released in the presence of wound exudate, against a wide spectrum of organisms.

How does Silver Alginate Dressing work?

The silver ion kills a broad spectrum of wound bacteria, and aids in creating an antimicrobial environment.
Silver ions damage bacterial cell walls and interfere with DNA synthesis. Silver ions also denature proteins and enzymes, and inhibit protein synthesis, killing the bacterium. This multi-targeted mechanism of action means that ionic silver has a far lower propensity to induce bacterial resistance than classic antibiotic.

Experimental result show that Sequa®Sorb Ag+

Silver Alginate Dressing is effective to Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE), Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VRE), Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia ssp pneumonia and Candida albicans.
The curves in chart show that silver ion are continuously release in 7 days, and that the dose is sufficient to maintain the optimal antibacterial effect.

Indications

Under the supervision of a healthcare professional, Sequa®Sorb Ag+ Silver Alginate Wound Dressing may be used for the management of:
Wounds where there is an infection or an increased risk of infection;
Partial thickness (second degree) burns;
Diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers, and pressure ulcers/sores (partial & full thickness);
Surgical wounds left to heal by secondary intention;
Traumatic wounds;
Wounds that are prone to bleeding, such as wounds that have been mechanically or surgically debrided.
