How SILVERCEL® NON-ADHERENT Works


SILVERCEL® NON-ADHERENT is designed to absorb and retain high amounts of exudate, whilst allowing easy, intact and atraumatic pain free removal from the wound bed.1


The silver ions within the dressing protect the wound from bacterial contamination.1


SILVERCEL® NON-ADHERENT DESIGNED NOT TO STICK

  • Maintains a sustained release of silver ions for up to 7 days in vitro. 1
  • Stays strong for intact removal, even when wet.2
  • Optimally spaced perforations allow ‘free flow’ of exudate into the dressing, and also ensures the dressing stays intact.
  • Conforms to the wound bed for complete coverage when moist, and is designed not to stick to the wound bed at dressing change.
  • SILVERCEL® NON-ADHERENT has been proven to be 75% Less Adherent than the market leading silver dressing. 3
