Versatile, easy to use 3M™ Tegaderm™ Ag Mesh Dressing with Silver provides an effective antimicrobial barrier in an affordable silver dressing.
3M™ Tegaderm™ Ag Mesh Dressing with Silver is a nonwoven dressing containing silver sulfate. Silver sulfate released as silver ions in the dressing creates an effective antimicrobial barrier for up to 7 days. The soft, absorbent dressing is supplied sterile and may be custom cut. The porous, non-occlusive dressing conforms to the wound base and wicks drainage into the dressing where the silver ions are available to reduce the number of bacteria and yeast.
3M™ Tegaderm™ Ag Mesh Dressing with Silver is available in five sizes. It is ideal for use in wound clinics, hospitals, home care and long term care.
