Enhanced silver gelling fiber dressing (OTC)/Extra Enhanced Silver Gelling Fiber Dressing (Prescription) is a soft, conformable, sterile dressing composed of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose fibers, strengthening layer (polyester), 1.2% (w/w) ionic silver, and stitched with enhance fibers (polyester). This conformable dressing absorbs wound fluid and creates a soft gel, provides a moist wound healing environment, and release silver ions within the dressing in the presence of wound fluid to help reduce bacteria within the dressing. Based on in-vitro testing, the silver in the dressing inhibits bacterial growth in the dressing for up to seven days.
