"ASSIST Silver Absorbent is a sterile, single use multi-layer low-adherent absorbent wound dressing. ASSIST Silver Absorbent is indicated for management of acute and chronic wounds: partial thickness burns, incisions, skin grafts, donor sites, lacerations, abrasions, lymphedema, dermatological wounds, and stage I-IV vascular ulcers, pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, and diabetic ulcers. ASSIST Silver Absorbent dressings provide an antimicrobial barrier and reduces microbial penetration through the dressing. The dressing is contraindicated for patients with a known silver sensitivity. The dressing has a low-adherent veil wound contact layer, a polyester/ nylon wound contact layer coated with an ion-exchange silver, two layers of absorptive non-woven, and a grey occlusive outer layer. The film outer layer (side placed away from the wound) is grey and embossed. The embossing is a circle logo with ""ASSIST Silver"" printed inside. The logo has ""This side away from wound,"" embossed above and below."
A wound covering typically in the form of a multi-layered pad having a material on its skin-contact surface that prevents adherence to the wound bed (e.g., soft silicone), thereby decreasing the potential for wound trauma, and that contains an antimicrobial agent [e.g., silver (Ag), honey]. It is used to absorb blood and exudates from the wound, while protecting the wound from external contamination and maintaining a moist internal environment. It may be used as a primary or secondary dressing with other wound-care products to treat chronic and postoperative wounds, burns, ulcers, abrasions, cuts, or puncture sites. This is a single-use device.
