NuMed Silver Bordered Foam 4x4 is made up of a PU Antibacterial polyurethane foam, polyvinyl alchohal, silver sulfate and silver chloride. It is a highly absorbent foam dressing with 0.35-0.40mg/cm3 ionic silver as the active component. This dressing provides an optimal moist wound healing enviroment, combining an effective antibacterial activity and is indicated for exudate absorption and the management of partial to full thickness wounds, including leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, second-degree burns, donor sites, postoperative wounds, and skin abrasions.
A wound covering intended to absorb exudates and blood from a wound (e.g., ulcers, burns, surgical wounds, lacerations, abrasions, and/or percutaneous device wounds), and that contains an antimicrobial agent [e.g., silver (Ag), chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG)]. It is not in the form of a gel and does not produce a water-absorbent gel upon contact with wound exudate. It is intended to create a moist wound-healing environment and/or protect wounds from external contamination by microorganisms from the periwound skin. The device may be in the form of a flat sheet/film, ribbon, rope, foam, liquid, or powder. After application, this device cannot be reused.
