Medline Puracol Plus AG Collagen Dressing with Antimicrobial Silver

Puracol Plus Wound Dressing with Silver Features

• Triple-helix format helps restore chemical balance in the wound bed, facilitating the give-n-take magnetism of a healing wound
• Highly absorbent material converts to soft gel sheet that stays in intimate contact with wound bed as it absorbs exudate
• Fibroblasts recognize this structure as naturally behaving normally, producing the collagen with silver to heal the wound
• Supporting normal fibroblast activity while distracting negative forces like MMPs and Elastase
• The triple helix structure allows the body's own fibroblasts to act normally
• Absorbent collagen sheets manage wound moisture
• For stalled wounds when antimicrobial properties of silver are desired
• 100% native bovine collagen impregnated with ionic silver designed to help jump-start stalled chronic wounds and manage bioburden
• Helps promote natural healing
• Ionic silver provides an antimicrobial barrier
• Puracol AG dressing features a unique three-dimensional structure known as the MicroScaffold
• Contains a hydrated silver chloride, a known antibacterial agent. The silver ion works in multifaceted ways inside the dressing, disrupting metabolic processes in bacteria and inhibiting their growth within the dressing
