Promogran Prisma Matrix Wound Dressing Features
- Promotes wound healing: It is designed to kick-start the healing process while providing protection from infection
- Absorbs excess wound fluid: The ORC in the dressing absorbs excess wound fluid, helping to keep the wound surface moist and preventing it from drying out. This is important for wound healing, as a moist wound healing environment is ideal for new tissue growth
- Creates a moist wound healing environment: The ORC in the dressing helps to create a moist wound healing environment, which is ideal for new tissue growth. A moist wound healing environment is also less painful than a dry wound healing environment
- Provides antimicrobial activity: Silver in the dressing provides antimicrobial activity to help protect against infection. This is important for wound healing, as infection can slow down the healing process
- Can be used under compression therapy: Compression therapy can help to improve blood flow to the wound, which can also help to speed up the healing process
What is Prisma Wound Dressing used for?
Under the supervision of a healthcare professional, Promogran Dressing can be used for the management of:
- Diabetic Ulcers
- Venous ulcers
- Pressure ulcers
- Ulcers caused by mixed vascular etiologies
- Full-thickness and partial thickness wounds
- Donor sites and other bleeding surface wounds
- Abrasions
- Traumatic wounds healing by secondary intention
- Dehisced surgical wounds
How does Prisma Dressing work?
Prisma for Wounds is a sterile, freeze-dried composite of collagen, silver-ORC, and oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC).
Optimum Wound Environment
Promogran Prisma Matrix transforms into a soft, conformable, biodegradable gel in the presence of exudate, allowing contact with all areas of the wound. A moist micro-environment is maintained at the wound surface, which is conducive to epithelialization, granulation tissue formation, and optimal wound healing.
Role Of Silver in Promogran Prisma Matrix
Silver-ORC is said to be comprised of 25% w/w ionically bound silver, which is a well-known antimicrobial agent. Systagenix Prisma dressing in silver provides an effective antimicrobial barrier that helps in reduction of bacterial development with common wound pathogens such as, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Eschericia coli, and Streptococcus pyogenes. Reduction of bacterial bioburden in the dressing may result in reduced risk of infection.
What is ORC?
Cellulose is a major component of all plants. Once oxidized, ORC (Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose) is completely bioresorbable and readily degrades through fluid absorption and subsequent gelling.
