SILVERCEL™ Hydro-Alginate is a sterile, non-woven pad composed of a high G (guluronic acid) alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and silver coated nylon fibres. Due to the excellent fluid handling capacity and the prolonged antimicrobial activity SILVERCEL™ is an ideal dressing for the management of chronic wounds.

Features
- SILVERCEL™ provides a sustained release of silver ions for up to 7 days, allowing for an effective antimicrobial protection for the entire wear time, depending on the level of exudate
- SILVERCEL™ is effective against more than 150 wound pathogens, including MRSA, MRSE, VRE, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia Coli, Streptococcus pyogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Candida albicans
- The unique composition of the dressing manages exudates in moderate to heavily exuding wounds, promoting a favourable environment for effective wound management
Benefits

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

- Venous leg ulcers
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Donor sites, traumatic and surgical wounds
- Silvercell can be used under compression bandaging and is effacious both when dry and pre-wet with saline
