Melgisorb® Ag is a hydrofibre alginate dressing with antimicrobial properties that helps to reduce the presence of microorganisms in wounds. According to an international consensus, the use of antimicrobial agents is recommended to reduce bacterial contamination in infected wounds1, and also acts as a barrier to prevent infection or reinfection in high-risk wounds1. In vitro studies have shown that Melgisorb Ag is able to inactivate important pathogens (bacteria and viruses) within four hours to 14 days. Melgisorb Ag is suitable for handling large amounts of exudate. The alginate fibres have a high absorption capacity, forming a soft gel that creates a moist environment favourable for wound healing. It exhibits excellent absorption in deep wounds with abundant exudate3 . Offers a fast and long-lasting antimicrobial effect. Designed for wounds with medium to high levels of exudate. Interlocking fibres allow removal in one piece. An international consensus states that antimicrobial action is indicated to reduce the degree of microbial contamination in infected wounds 1 and acts as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds at high risk of infection or reinfection 1. Melgisorb Ag has been shown to inactivate important wound pathogens (bacteria and viruses) within four hours and up to 14 days, as demonstrated in vitro. Melgisorb Ag can manage high levels of exudate. The alginate fibres absorb high levels of exudate, forming a soft gel that creates a moist environment and promotes wound healing. Excellent absorption for deep wounds with high exudate3 Rapid and sustained antimicrobial effect Designed for wounds with medium to high levels of exudate Interlocking fibres allow removal in one piece
