In the battle to heal chronic wounds, there is an invisi­ble enemy: biofilm. It’s a primary cause of chronic infec­tion [1], blocking the effec­tive action of antibio­tic and antisep­tic agents [2]. And it’s present in at least 78% of chronic wounds [3]. But our breakth­rough MORE THAN SILVER™ techno­logy – scien­ti­fi­cally develo­ped to win the battle against biofilm – conta­ins three compon­ents with the power to disrupt and destroy biofilm: ionic silver together with a surfac­tant and a metal chela­ting agent. Our dressing delivers superior anti-biofilm perfor­mance compared to other silver dressings [4,5]. We combine MORE THAN SILVER™ with Hydro­fi­ber® techno­logy, which works to absorb wound exudate and disrupted EPS and bacte­ria. This helps to manage wound moisture and support healing [9].

Learn more about the MORE THAN SILVER™ techno­logy and win the battle against biofilms in wounds.
