DURAFIBER Ag PRO gel-forming fibre dressing with silver, sterile, 10 x 10 cm, 10 ST

Discover DURAFIBER Ag PRO: the advanced, sterile silver fibre dressing with excellent exudate management. Thanks to its gel-forming structure, it safely traps large quantities of wound fluid and harmful microorganisms.

Progressive wound healing

Chronic wounds are an increasing problem and represent a considerable social and financial burden.¹⁰ 15-30 % of wounds have not healed after one year. ^11,12 Infections are one of the most common factors associated with delayed wound healing.¹⁰ They often show subtle signs and symptoms (such as increased exudate) that are not immediately recognised as an infection.¹³ Support your patients on the path to wound healing by promoting the healing process with the DURAFIBER Ag PRO wound dressing: Indicated for deep wounds and heavy exudate, it provides an optimal wound environment through a cohesive gel and sustained antimicrobial action.^1,4-7,9

Product features

• Intelligent fluid management: Vertical absorption prevents lateral leakage of wound fluid onto the surrounding skin, promoting optimal exudate management and minimising the risk of maceration of the wound environment. DURAFIBER Ag PRO wound dressings can absorb 12 times their own weight in exudate. ³ Particles and bacteria contained in the wound exudate are retained in the fibre pad and removed when the dressing is changed^.1,2
• Positive experience: Improve wound care for all involved with an easy-to-apply dressing that is easy to trim (when dry) ^1,2 and has minimal shrinkage compared to Aquacel ¹⁴ to ensure an optimal fit^.1,4-7,15 High tensile strength (when wet) allows the dressing to be easily removed in one piece*1^,4-7,16 and a cohesive gel helps to minimise pain at dressing changes^.4-7
• Designed to reduce bacteria: The continuous release of silver ⁹ kills a broad spectrum of pathogens - including MRSA and P. aeruginosa.*17^,18 It has low cytotoxicity compared to other competitor products.* ¹⁹ The highly conformable dressing provides minimal breeding ground for bacteria ³ and has an antimicrobial effect, with bactericidal action starting within 4 hours^.17

Areas of application

Suitable for a wide range of wounds:

• Superficial or deep wounds with moderate to heavy exudation, including leg ulcers, pressure ulcers and diabetic ulcers.
• Traumatic wounds, including haemorrhagic wounds.
• Surgical wounds, including post-operative wounds, mechanically/surgically debrided wounds and donor sites.
• Partial-thickness burns.
