Silvercel Non-Adherent Antimicrobial Alginate Dressing — Silver, EasyLift Removal, 4 Sizes

Kills MRSA. Absorbs heavy exudate. Lifts off clean — no tearing, no fiber shedding. Silvercel Non-Adherent Antimicrobial Alginate Dressing is a silver hydroalginate dressing that delivers three simultaneous clinical actions: sustained broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity through controlled silver ion release for up to 7 days; high-capacity exudate absorption through a non-woven alginate/CMC/silver-coated nylon fiber matrix that gels on contact with wound fluid; and pain-free, intact removal through the patented EasyLift Precision Film Technology contact layer — a non-adherent wound interface that protects newly formed granulation tissue from disruption and fiber shedding at every dressing change. Effective against MRSA, MRSE, and VRE, and demonstrated to destroy biofilms in vitro — making Silvercel the clinical choice for infected, heavily colonized, and moderate-to-heavily exuding chronic wounds.

✔ Sustained Silver Ion Release — Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Activity Up to 7 Days    ✔ Kills MRSA, MRSE & VRE — Destroys Biofilm In Vitro    ✔ EasyLift Precision Film — Pain-Free, Intact Removal, Zero Fiber Shedding    ✔ High Absorbency — Manages Moderate to Heavy Exudate    ✔ Compression Compatible — Suitable for Venous Ulcer Management

Product Details

Indicated For — Wound Types

• Infected or heavily colonized partial and full thickness wounds
• Wounds with confirmed or suspected MRSA, MRSE, or VRE infection
• Chronic wounds with biofilm — demonstrated biofilm destruction in vitro
• Venous leg ulcers — infected or at risk, including use under compression therapy
• Pressure ulcers with infection or heavy exudate
• Diabetic foot ulcers with infection or colonization
• Moderate to heavily exuding wounds requiring simultaneous antimicrobial and absorbent management
• Wounds where dressing-related trauma and fiber shedding at removal is a clinical concern
• Post-surgical and traumatic wounds with infection risk

Note: For use on wounds that can be cleansed. Not indicated for dry wounds. Use with caution in patients with known sensitivity to silver or alginates. Consult a healthcare professional for infected wounds and follow facility protocols for antimicrobial dressing management.

How Silvercel Works — What Makes It Different

Standard silver dressings deliver antimicrobial activity but often at the cost of removal trauma — standard alginate fibers swell on contact with exudate and bond to healing tissue, causing pain, fiber shedding, and disruption of granulation on removal. Silvercel solves this with a two-part clinical design. The alginate/CMC/silver-coated nylon fiber matrix gels on contact with wound exudate — absorbing heavily, locking fluid away from the wound surface, and releasing silver ions in a sustained controlled manner that maintains effective antimicrobial concentrations at the wound interface for up to 7 days. The EasyLift Precision Film contact layer is bonded to the wound-facing side of the dressing — a smooth, non-adherent interface that prevents the gelled fiber matrix from bonding to the wound bed or newly forming granulation tissue. At dressing change, the EasyLift layer separates cleanly from the wound surface, lifting the entire dressing intact without fiber shedding, without pain, and without tearing away the healing tissue that the antimicrobial action has been working to protect.

• Silver-coated nylon fibers distributed throughout the matrix — antimicrobial activity at the dressing-wound interface, not just the surface
• Sustained silver ion release — effective antimicrobial concentrations maintained for up to 7 days per application
• Broad-spectrum activity including MRSA, MRSE, and VRE — over 150 wound pathogens covered
• Biofilm destruction demonstrated in vitro — critical for chronic wound management where biofilm is a primary barrier to healing
• High guluronic acid alginate — produces a cohesive, stable gel on absorption rather than fragmenting into loose fibers
• CMC component enhances absorbency and gel cohesion — manages moderate to heavy exudate effectively
• EasyLift Precision Film contact layer — prevents fiber bonding to wound bed, enables intact pain-free removal
• Protects newly formed granulation tissue and re-epithelializing surfaces from disruption at every dressing change
• Reduces wound odor through antimicrobial action against odor-causing organisms
• Compatible with compression therapy — maintains performance under compression wraps for venous ulcer management

EasyLift Precision Film Technology — Pain-Free Removal Every Time

Dressing-related pain at removal is one of the most significant barriers to patient compliance in chronic wound management — patients delay or avoid necessary dressing changes specifically because of removal trauma. Silvercel's EasyLift Precision Film Technology addresses this directly. The film is bonded to the wound-contact face of the dressing and acts as a precision interface layer — smooth enough to prevent fiber adhesion to the wound bed, porous enough to allow exudate to flow freely into the absorbent alginate matrix above it. The result is a dressing that performs its full absorbent and antimicrobial function throughout wear, then separates cleanly and completely from the wound at removal — intact, without leaving fibers in the wound bed, and without the tearing trauma that standard alginate dressings cause when they bond to healing tissue.

• Non-adherent precision film bonded to wound-contact face — separates cleanly from wound bed at every removal
• Minimizes fiber detachment — no loose fibers left in the wound bed after removal
• Protects newly formed granulation tissue — no disruption to healing surfaces
• Reduces dressing-change pain — improving patient compliance and treatment outcomes
• Allows full exudate flow through to the absorbent matrix — no compromise to absorbency or antimicrobial performance

Choosing the Right Size

• 900112 — 1" x 12" Rope — 5/box — Rope format for packing tunneling wounds, sinus tracts, undermined areas, and deep cavity wounds where a flat pad cannot reach the wound base
• 900202 — 2" x 2" Square — 10/box — Smallest flat size — ideal for compact infected wounds, small pressure injuries, toe and finger wounds, and narrow wound sites
• 900404 — 4¼" x 4¼" Square — 10/box — Standard medium size — the most widely used size for general pressure ulcer, venous ulcer, and diabetic foot ulcer management
• 900408 — 4" x 8" Rectangle — 5/box — Large rectangular size — elongated wounds on the lower leg, larger pressure injuries, post-surgical sites, and wounds requiring extended pad coverage

Application Tip: Select a size that covers the full wound surface with slight overlap onto intact periwound skin. For tunneling or cavity wounds, use the rope format (900112) to ensure the antimicrobial matrix contacts the entire wound depth. Cover with an appropriate absorbent secondary dressing.
