Antimicrobial Dressings
Antimicrobial Dressings, Gauze, Pads, And Swabs For Wound Care
Antimicrobial dressings are used to help prevent infection and provide protection from common infectious bacteria and other contaminants. Many antimicrobial wound dressings are impregnated with common agents such as polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) or ionic silver while others are designed to treat without such agents. The dressings, which come in a variety of forms such as sponges, woven gauzes and film dressings, are generally available in a wide array of absorptive products, island dressings, non-adherent barriers, or a combination of materials.
