Maxorb Extra Ag Silver Alginate Sheet Dressing 2 X 2

What is 60MSC9422-Each Maxorb Extra Ag Silver Alginate Sheet Dressing 2 X 2?

The 60MSC9422-Each Maxorb Extra Ag Silver Alginate Sheet Dressing 2 X 2 is a sterile, single-use wound care solution designed for moderate to heavily exuding wounds. Made from natural alginate fibers infused with silver, it leverages the ion-exchange properties of calcium and sodium to form a gel upon contact with wound exudate, maintaining a moist healing environment. This square 2 inch by 2 inch dressing is latex-free and non-adherent, minimizing trauma during changes. It is commonly used in both acute and chronic wound management, including diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, and surgical wounds with exudate.

Key features

• Antimicrobial Protection — Silver-infused fibers help reduce bioburden and manage infection risk.
• Highly Absorbent — Rapidly absorbs exudate and forms a gel to support autolytic debridement.
• Latex-Free — Safe for patients with latex sensitivities.

• Sterile Packaging — Ensures clinical safety for each use.
• Non-Adherent Surface — Minimizes pain and tissue damage during dressing changes.

How does 60MSC9422-Each Maxorb Extra Ag Silver Alginate Sheet Dressing 2 X 2 compare?

Compared to standard alginate dressings without silver, this version offers added antimicrobial action, making it more effective in contaminated or high-risk wounds. It outperforms gauze in absorption and moisture retention, reducing the need for frequent changes. Unlike foam dressings, it provides superior exudate management in deeper cavities. While more costly than basic non-adherent pads, its clinical benefits justify use in complex wound care scenarios where infection control and absorption are critical.
