Alginates are hydrophilic polysaccharides\nwhich means they are polymers of carbohydrates and can absorb water. When the\ndressing is dry, the alginate fibers (in a predetermined ratio of mannuronic\nand glucuronic acid forms) compose the majority of weight of the dressing. The\nsilver particles compose less than 1% of the weight of the dressing with a\nconcentration of 50 micrograms (μg) per 100 cm2 of the surface area. Real and\ncartoon images of dry silver alginate. Note the visible dry fibers in the\nmagnified real image (yellow arrows). Each dressing inside a sealed, intact\npouch is sterileThe moist, gel-like state does not adhere to the wound,\nallowing for an easy removalThe moist, gel-like state also facilitates\nautolytic debridement (loosening of dead tissue on wound surface)Either side\ncan be placed facing the woundDressing may be trimmed or folded to best fit\nthe woundEach lot of product is controlled with a verified Certificate of\nAnalysisOn rare occasions, the dressing may disintegrate in the wound. The\nmaterial is biocompatible and is of no concern for the body or wound. Read\nmore How It Works: When being placed directly on a wound with exudate, the\ndressing simultaneously renders absorptive and antibacterial effects\". A The\ndressing is placed directly on a wound with exudate (wet wound): B. Shortly\nafter three actions will occur: First: the dressing begins to absorb the wound\nexudate. Second: simultaneously, the dressing transforms into a soft, moist,\ncomfortable, non-adhering gel-like material, covering the wound. Third: The\nmoist dressing steadily releases SILVER onto the wound surface\/bed (peak\nrelease during the first 24-48 hours). Read more Easy to use 1- Clean the\nwound with sterile saline or as instructed by wound care provider. 2 - Apply\nthe dressing directly on the wound (trim or fold to best fit the wound size).\nEither side can be placed on wound. 3- Cover the wound and 1 inch of normal\nskin beyond the wound area 4- Secure with a secondary dressing, such as island\ndressing, gauze pad\/rolls secured with tape or self adhesive bandages, or\nother adhesive dressings. 5- To remove: after removing the secondary dressing,\ngently remove this dressing. If the dressing appears dry, throughly moisten\nwith saline prior to removal. 6- The frequency of the dressing change may vary\ndepending on the wound's drainage. 7- If to be used on a dry wound or a wound\nwith low exudate, first moisten the dressing with saline solution and wring it\nout prior to its application. 8- This dressing can be used in cavities of high\nstage wounds. Precautions Do not use on patients with known sensitivity to\nsilver or alginates.Not intended for use on third-degree burns.Alginate\ndressings are highly permeable and nonocclusive. A secondary wound dressing\n(such as gauze sponge pad and gauze rolls) is required to secure the dressing.\nFor external use only.Frequent or prolonged use of this product may result in\npermanent discoloration of skin. This product is of single use. Do not reuse\nor resterilize.Do not use if package is damaged or open. Read more Wound And\nInfection A wound is when there is an interruption in the integrity of the\nskin. The damage may vary in depth, ranging from the most superficial skin\nlayer to a total loss of skin layers or even tissues under the skin. As a\nconsequence of this disintegration, bacteria and fungi find a path toward\ndeeper tissues, resulting in an infection. Infection is one of the major risks\nthat wounds may impose to body. Biofilm: Biofilm is formed when bacteria are\ntransformed and lay down a foundation over the wound, facilitating their\nadherence to the wound surface. Irrigation can not remove biofilm.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003e4.25\"X4.25\".
