What is SEMP1010PSFAG-Each Mediplus Super Foam Ag, 4 X 4?

SEMP1010PSFAG-Each Mediplus Super Foam Ag, 4 X 4 is a sterile, absorbent wound dressing designed for managing exuding wounds. It features a multi-layer construction with a polyurethane foam core, a breathable outer film, and a polyethylene net layer infused with silver ions (Ag+). With 79 ppm of bound elemental silver, this dressing helps inhibit bacterial growth within the dressing, reducing the risk of colonization. The sealed edges prevent leakage even when saturated, making it reliable for active or mobile patients. It acts as a physical barrier against external contaminants while maintaining a moist wound environment conducive to healing.

Key features

• Silver-Infused Layer — Contains 79 ppm elemental silver to inhibit bacterial growth within the dressing.

How does SEMP1010PSFAG-Each Mediplus Super Foam Ag, 4 X 4 compare?

Compared to standard polyurethane foam dressings, this silver-containing version offers added antimicrobial protection, making it more suitable for infected or high-risk wounds. Unlike basic gauze or non-adherent pads, it provides superior exudate management and edge sealing to prevent strike-through. It performs similarly to other antimicrobial foam dressings but at a competitive price point. While not as conformable as thin hydrocolloids, its thickness supports cushioning and sustained absorption in deeper wounds.
