Smith & Nephew Allevyn Ag Non-Adhesive Absorbent Silver Hydrocellular Dressing, 2" x 2", Sterile, Box of 10
2" x 2" Silver Foam Dressing for Infected or At-Risk Exuding Wounds
Product Description
Managing small exuding wounds that are infected or at risk of infection requires a dressing that can absorb drainage while providing antimicrobial protection. Standard foam dressings may manage fluid but do not address the bacterial burden that can delay healing. Patients and caregivers need a solution that combines high absorbency with sustained antimicrobial action in a single, gentle dressing suitable for fragile skin
The Smith & Nephew Allevyn Ag Non-Adhesive Dressing is designed to address these needs. This 2" x 2" sterile dressing features a hydrocellular foam core containing silver sulfadiazine (SSD), which provides sustained antimicrobial activity against a broad spectrum of wound pathogens, including MRSA and VRE, for up to 7 days in vitro . The triple-action technology absorbs, retains, and transpires exudate to maintain an optimal moist wound environment, while the waterproof outer film acts as a bacterial barrier and helps prevent leakage . The non-adherent wound contact layer will not stick to the wound bed, making it suitable for fragile and sensitive skin and minimizing pain during changes
This Smith & Nephew dressing is designed for versatility and comfort. The soft foam core and conformable construction adapt to body contours, and the dressing requires a secondary retention method such as tape or a bandage to hold it in place . It is indicated for pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, and first- or second-degree burns . The dressing is sterile and latex-free. Each box contains 10 individually wrapped dressings

The sustained antimicrobial action of SSD provides protection against a broad spectrum of wound pathogens, making this dressing a practical choice for wounds that are infected or at risk of infection . - Reliable wear and comfort:
The conformable foam core provides cushioning and comfort, and the extended wear time helps reduce disruption to the wound bed and patient routines . The waterproof film also acts as a bacterial barrier, helping to prevent secondary contamination
