Preventing infection
Use a range of silver and other antimicrobial dressings to act as physical barriers that help prevent infection and kill the bacteria within the dressing.
Antimicrobial infection dressings
Advanced nanocrystalline silver dressings for broad-spectrum antimicrobial action to kill bacteria within the dressing.
- Prepare the wound bed – Debridement solutions to help clear non-viable or devitalised tissue
- Regulate wound moisture – Absorbent and breathable options to support a balanced wound environment and help inhibit bacterial growth within the dressing
- Structure care pathway – Tools for decision-making and treatment selection to help protect wounds against the risk of infection
Antimicrobial iodine products
Provide long-lasting antimicrobial control using cadexomer iodine, capable of supporting healing by managing exudate, slough, debris and wound bioburden within the cadexomer.
- Disrupt mature biofilm – Absorb biofilm and reduce the bacterial load within the dressing
- Deliver a broad-spectrum antimicrobial action – Rapidly kills common wound pathogens such as MRSA, VRE and odour-causing bacteria
- Absorb slough – Microbead technology to draw out exudate and debris, cleansing the wound bed
- Support healing – Evidence-based products to remove contaminants and support the healing response
IODOSORB◊
Cadexomer Iodine Range
Dual-action composition provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity,1,2 with desloughing3,4 and high fluid-handling properties,5-7 making it effective against chronic wound biofilm in vitro and in vivo8-18 Prepare to progress Smart micro-bead technology is loaded with 0.9% elemental iodine to offer sustained release when in contact with wound fluid.19-21 Available as IODOSORB Ointment, IODOSORB Powder and IODOFLEX Dressings.*
Antimicrobial foam dressings
Combine exudate management, infection prevention and patient comfort using multi-layer silver-infused foam dressings with gentle silicone.
- Prevent infection – Provide an antimicrobial barrier, with silver-infused foam to kill bacteria within the dressings
- Manage wound fluid – Absorbent foam dressings lock fluid away from the wound surface
- Provide comfort – Gentle silicone adhesion with breathable top layer and conformable for hard-to-dress areas
- Minimize unnecessary dressing changes – Dressings designed for extended wear time
Secondary dressings
Secure and protect primary dressings and offer wound bed protection to help support healing in infected wounds and maintain sustained antimicrobial action within the dressing.
- Support antimicrobial efficacy – Conformable options that adapt to clinical need and patient anatomy
- Provide sustained coverage – Maintain close contact with the wound bed and primary dressing layers
- Reduce disruption – Secondary solutions to secure dressings in place and help atraumatic removal
- Enhance flexible protocols – Solutions for varied needs across care settings
ALLEVYN◊ GENTLE BORDER
Foam Dressings
For versatility in daily practice, clinicians need foam dressings to offer effective exudate management, patient comfort and the confidence that dressings will stay in place. ALLEVYN GENTLE BORDER Dressings provide a moist wound environment conducive to healing across a range of wound types,1-7 and have been shown to support pressure injury prevention protocols8
