Suprasorb® A + Ag in the Treatment of Wounds at Risk of Infection and Infected Wounds

Suprasorb® A + Ag Antimicrobial Calcium Alginate Wound Dressings / Packing Rope are soft, conformable wound coverings with a high mannuronic acid content (mass per unit area ≥100 g/m2). The silver impregnated calcium alginate fibres react with wound exudate or blood to form a gel which creates a moist wound environment. The silver contained in the wound dressing has broad antimicrobial activity, including against MRSA and VRE. Antimicrobial action (\>3 log steps) associated with the ionic silver from the silver alginate fibres (1.5%) is observed in vitro after just 24 h and this remains stable for up to seven days
