ALGICELL® Ag is designed specifically for the task at hand – to absorb a large amount of wound exudates typically seen in wounds with high bioburden, while also gelling for easy pain-free removal from wounds.  However, while other gelling dressings tend to lose their physical integrity and fall apart making dressing removal time consuming, ALGICELL® Ag keeps its physical integrity, allowing for easier removal and clean-up during dressing changes.

• ALGICELL® Ag, comprised of a proprietary blend of mannuronic (high gelling) and guluronic (high wet-strength) alginic acids, is designed to gel well while keeping its physical integrity for intact removal
• The dressing’s high absorption capacity also helps to reduce the risk of tissue maceration and allows for increased time between dressing changes
• Unlike other products, ALGICELL® Ag does not leave any silver coated nylon thread residue in the wound upon removal of the dressing

ALGICELL® Ag’s optimal gelling profile:

Gels well Minimizes fibrous residue Maintains a moist environment, conducive to wound healing	ALGICELL® Ag	SILVERCEL®
Remains intact Facilitates ease of removal
Dressings are magnified 600% after saturation with hypertonic saline solution.
