Biatain Ag Non-Adhesive Foam Antimicrobial Dressing Features
- Unique 3D foam structure for superior absorption: When in contact with exudate the unique 3D foam structure of Biatain Ag Non-Adhesive conforms closely to the wound bed for superior absorption – even under compression
- Designed to prevent infection: The sustained silver release profile ensures a homogenous distribution of silver ions providing a continuous anti-bacterial effect during entire wear time
- Patented with a silver complex with broad anti-bacteria profile: Biatain Ag is effective on bacteria commonly found in infected non-healing wounds. Infected wounds heal faster with Biatain Ag than with other wounds dressings, including other anti-bacterial dressings.
- Continuous anti-bacterial effect during entire wear time: Due to the sustained silver release profile there is a continuous anti-bacterial effect during entire wear time.
- Mode of action: In the presence of exudate silver is continuously released into the wound bed for up to 7 days.
- Composition: Biatain Ag Non-Adhesive is a soft and flexible absorbent polyurethane foam that is patented with a silver complex homogeneously dispersed throughout the foam matrix.

- Secondly, fix the arrow head. Remove the handles one by one and fix the sides carefully, so the foam parts touch or overlap.

- It should be changed when clinically indicated or when visible signs of exudate approach the edge of the dressing.
