Non-Adherence
EASYLIFT™ Precision Film Technology non-adherent wound contact layer.
Antimicrobial Action
SILVERCEL™ NON-ADHERENT Dressing provides a sustained release of silver ions in vitro for up to 7 days.1 This can provide an effective antimicrobial barrier protection for the entire wear time, depending on exudate levels.
High Absorbency
The highly absorbent hydro-alginate component allows for effective exudate management.
The highly absorbent hydro-alginate component in SILVERCEL™ NON-ADHERENT Dressing allows for effective exudate management and helps maintain a moist wound environment beneficial to wound healing.2
Non-Adherence
- EASYLIFT™ Precision Film Technology allows for:
- Easy and pain-free removal1
- Exudate absorption while minimizing adherence to the wound2,3
- Effective protection of the newly formed tissue
- Intact removal minimising the risks of fibres shedding
SILVERCEL™ NON-ADHERENT Dressing:
- Provides a sustained release of silver ions in vitro for up to 7 days4
- Is effective against a broad spectrum of wound pathogens including MSRA, MRSE and VRE (in vitro)
- Is an effective barrier to bacterial penetration (in vitro)
- Able to deal with moderate-to-heavily exuding wounds6
- Allows for effective exudate management and helps to maintain a moist wound environment beneficial to wound healing2
- The dressing’s structural properties allow for intact removal; minimizing the risks of the dressing adhering to the wound bed* and shedding fibers**

SILVERCEL™ NON-ADHERENT Antimicrobial Alginate Dressing is a sterile, non-woven pad composed of a high G (guluronic acid) alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and silver coated nylon fibres, laminated to a perforated, non-adherent ethylene methyl acrylate (EMA) wound contact layer. The dressing absorbs exudate and allows intact removal, whilst maintaining a moist wound environment. A moist wound environment is optimal for wound healing. The silver ions within the dressing protect the dressing from bacterial contamination. Odor reduction results from the antibacterial effect.
-Pressure injuries
-Venous ulcers
-Diabetic ulcers
-Donor sites
-Traumatic and surgical wounds
-Third-degree burns;Patients with a known sensitivity to alginates, ethylene methyl acrylate (EMA) or silver; Surgical implantation; or To control heavy bleeding.
