Agicoat Silver Nanocrystalline Dressing

Agicoat silver nanocrystalline dressings are made of nylon fibers covered by a layer of silver nanocrystalline particles ( times smaller than the silver molecule).

This form of silver, unlike the silver found in other dressings, does not oxidize or turn black in the open environment and in the presence of air.

To activate the silver in this dressing, place it in sterile distilled water near the wound and its exudation, so silver ions are released. The amount of silver released is about 40 to 50 ppm, which kills all pathogenic microorganisms.

Application:

This dressing is usable for different types of wounds such as: burn wounds, donor, orthopedics, arterial or venous wounds, diabetic wounds, various types of infectious or chronic colonized wounds, pressure wounds, etc.

Advantages:

• Excellent antimicrobial properties with minimal toxicity of the active substance.

To compare the antimicrobial properties of dressings with similar active ingredients and with a minimum toxicity of their antimicrobials, scientists consider two parameters MIC (The minimum inhibitory concentration) and MBC (The minimum bactericidal concentration).

Agicoat silver nanocrystalline dressing has lower MIC and MBC compared to other dressings, which indicates its superiority over other dressings.

• Slow release of silver ions in 7-14 days and its antimicrobial effects.

• Anti-inflammatory effect

• Accelerate wound healing

• Reduce wound scarring compared to other common methods

• No need for early replacement and so patient comfort (usually the dressing stays on the wound for 7 to 14 days)

• High flexibility to completely cover the wound (Maintaining the same pressure and temperature in all wound areas)

• Reduce pain due to homogeneous electrical potential on the wound surface and reducing the use of analgesics and narcotics

• Oxygenate and keep the wound moist based on the negative pressure created by the physical structure of the dressing for 7 days

• Has a replacement indicator (after the silver is affected and released, the dressing color turns white, which indicates the time of replacement)

• No need to use other disinfectants, ointments and topical antibiotics

• Without any sensitivity and irritability according to ISO10993-10 standard

• Without any cytotoxicity according to ISO10993-5 standard
