What is 5466800572-Box Durafiber Ag Gelling Fiber Dressing 6 X 6?

The 5466800572-Box Durafiber Ag Gelling Fiber Dressing 6 X 6 is a sterile, latex-free wound care solution designed for managing exuding wounds. Featuring gelling fiber technology infused with ionic silver, this dressing absorbs wound fluid and forms a cohesive gel that maintains a moist healing environment. It is engineered to reduce bacterial bioburden and support infection control in acute and chronic wounds.

Key features

• Antimicrobial Action — Ionic silver provides broad-spectrum activity against common wound pathogens.
• High Absorbency — Gelling fibers swell and lock in exudate to prevent leakage and maceration.
• Structural Integrity — Maintains strength when wet, reducing fiber shedding and residue.
• Conformability — Transforms into a soft gel that adapts to irregular wound beds.
• Sterile & Latex-Free — Suitable for sensitive skin and clinical environments.
• Wound Bed Support — Promotes autolytic debridement and moist wound healing.
• Dressing Retention — Cohesive gel sheet stays intact during removal.
