Smith & Nephew Durafiber Ag Gelling Fiber Dressing

Smith & Nephew's Durafiber Ag Gelling Fiber Dressing is a highly absorbent, nonwoven dressing designed to provide effective wound management for a variety of chronic and acute conditions. This innovative dressing is composed of cellulose ethyl sulphonate fibres and contains ionic silver, offering broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against common wound pathogens. With its unique gelling properties, it forms a clear, cool gel upon contact with wound fluid, which helps to absorb excess fluid and lock exudate away from the wound bed.

Key Features and Benefits

DURAFIBER Ag is designed to support autolytic debridement by providing a moist environment that promotes healing. Its high integral wet strength ensures easy removal from moist wound beds and cavities, minimizing trauma to the wound and pain to the patient. This dressing is suitable for a wide range of applications, including leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, and wounds prone to bleeding. The dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days, reducing the frequency of dressing changes and enhancing patient comfort.

• High Absorbency: Rapidly absorbs excess fluid and locks exudate away from the wound.
• Antimicrobial Protection: Contains ionic silver to combat common wound pathogens.
• Conforms to Wound Bed: Forms a gel that conforms intimately to the wound bed, providing a moist healing environment.

Indications and Contraindications

DURAFIBER Ag is indicated for the management of chronic and acute, full or partial thickness, or shallow granulating exuding wounds. It is suitable for leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, and other challenging wound types. However, it is contraindicated for use on patients with known sensitivity to silver and non-exuding wounds. It is important to follow local protocols for infection management when using this dressing on infected wounds.

• Indications: Chronic and acute wounds, leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, and more.
