Silvercel

SILVERCEL™ is a new wound dressing from Johnson &amp; Johnson, which combines the potent broad-spectrum antimicrobial action of silver with enhanced exudate management properties of alginate technology. Because of a sustained release of silver ions, the dressing acts as an effective barrier and may help reduce infection. Antimicrobial properties are built-in through the use of X-STATIC® Silver Fibers. SILVERCEL™ dressing has been proven effective in vitro against 150 clinically isolated microorganisms, including antibiotic-resistant strains.
