Hollister Restore Silver Calcium Alginate Dressing — Antimicrobial Absorbency for Infected Wounds
Superior infection control meets high-capacity fluid management. Hollister Restore Silver Calcium Alginate is a sterile, non-woven antimicrobial dressing designed for moderate to heavily exuding wounds. By incorporating ionic silver into high-integrity alginate fibers, this dressing provides a steady release of antimicrobial action for up to 7 days. It effectively targets a broad spectrum of wound-site pathogens while transforming into a protective gel that facilitates a moist environment for optimal healing.
✔ Sustained Ionic Silver Release — Effective Against MRSA and VRE ✔ High Fluid Retention — Absorbs Many Times Its Weight ✔ High Integrity Design — Removes Easily in One Piece ✔ Versatile Fit — Conforms to Deep Cavities and Irregular Wounds

The Restore Silver Advantage — Clean, Effective Healing
Clinicians trust the Hollister Restore line because it maintains its structural integrity even when fully saturated. Unlike standard silver dressings that can leave metallic residue or "wash away," Restore Silver locks the silver within its fibers, ensuring the antimicrobial action stays where it’s needed most: in the wound bed. As it absorbs exudate, it creates a soft gel layer that helps prevent the dressing from sticking, making the removal process trauma-free for the patient.
- Broad-Spectrum Protection: Ionic silver provides a barrier against various bacteria, fungi, and yeasts that can stall the healing process.
- Optimal Exudate Control: The alginate fibers pull excess fluid away from the wound edge, significantly reducing the risk of maceration (skin softening) of the surrounding tissue.
- Cohesive Gelling: Forms a moist, protective interface that supports autolytic debridement—the body's natural way of cleaning a wound.
- Longer Wear Time: Can remain in place for up to 7 days, meaning fewer interruptions to the healing process and lower cost of care.
- Non-Irritating: Designed to be gentle on the wound bed, reducing pain during application and removal.
Application & Removal Tips
Cleanse the wound according to your clinical protocol. Place the Restore Silver pad or rope into the wound bed, leaving a small margin for expansion as it gels. Secure with an appropriate secondary dressing. Removal: If the dressing appears dry, saturate with sterile saline prior to removal to ensure it lifts easily without damaging new granulation tissue.
