How Exufiber Ag+ works?

In contact with wound exudate, Exufber Ag+ transforms into a gel that facilitates moist wound healing and ease of removal during dressing change . Exufber Ag+ contains silver sulphate that is evenly distributed throughout the dressing. A rapid and sustained antimicrobial effect is initiated via contact with wound fuid.

How to use Exufiber Ag+ Gelling Fiber Dressing?

1. Cleanse the wound with wound cleanser according to clinical practice. Thoroughly dry the surrounding skin.
2. Aseptically remove the dressing from the package.

3. For shallow wounds: apply Exufiber Ag+ dressing to cover the entire wound with overlap on to the surrounding skin by at least 1-2 cm. The Exufiber Ag+ dressing will slightly shrink as it absorbs wound fluid.
