Key Features of Urgosorb Silver Dressings
Urgosorb Silver – combining Alginate with Hydrocolloid
and Silver salt. Powerful Absorption with Antibacterial Activity. The combination
of Alginate (Alginates are natural polymers extracted from various species of
brown seaweed) and Hydrocolloid (CMC) provide excellent absorption and de-sloughing
for heavily exuding wounds. A moist wound environment is created and maintained
whilst the Silver provides antibacterial activity. Urgosorb Silver is a sterile
dressing composed of calcium alginate fibres and hydrocolloid particles(sodium
carboxymethyl cellulose); which provide high absorbency. Due to its synergistic
combination of two natural polymers, Urgosorb is suitable for managing heavy exudate,
effective debridement and provides excellent haemostatic performance. Urgosorb creates
a moist environment, which is favourable to wound healing. The ability to gel
block in contact with wound exudate means that the product retains its integrity
and can be removed in one piece |
