Venus Ag 120, 160 and 200 Wound Dressing with Antimicrobial Silver and Strengthening Cellulose Fiber are a soft, conformable non-woven fabrics made from sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and strengthening cellulose fiber(s) with antimicrobial silver. The silver in the wound dressing, when in contact with wound exudate or blood present in wound exudate, has an antimicrobial effect on bacteria held within the dressing, preventing it from being colonized. The absorption of exudate into the dressing forms a gel which assists in maintaining a moist wound environment, supporting autolytic debridement, protects the wound edge and surrounding skin from maceration. Through the gel formation the structure of the dressing remains intact. Debris and any bacteria found in the wound exudate can be retained inside the dressing and removed when the dressing is changed. When dry, Venus Ag can easily be cut to the size of the wound. The device is a combination product, code FRO. Venus Ag dressings are supplied in a variety of sizes, configurations, and weights.
