Pharma-Algi ® F Silver IV  : IV Dressings: the different composite of the Non adherent dressing may be placed centrally on
different adhesive substrate that having U shaped silt, to allow easy fixation of the catheter and
cannula and stop bleeding

• Haemostatic effect: Due to calcium – sodium ions exchange, where calcium ions are donated to the wound which is vital factor for the clotting process.
• High Absorption capacity: where it absorbs wound exudates and locks it inside the formed gel so prevents skin maceration.
• Moist wound environment: Upon contact with wound exudates, it rapidly gels which overlays the wound and provides a micro-environment that promotes healing and formation of granulation tissue.
• Conformable and Soft: it conforms to wound contours.
• Atraumatic Dressing removal: Due to Gel formation prevents adherence of the dressing to the newly formed tissues
• Unique Integrity: allowing removal of the dressing as one piece.
• Adsorb odour: due to Carbon Felt if present.
• Broad spectrum anti-microbial activity against gram +ve, gram –ve, spores and fungi.

Used for cannula and catheter fixation.

• Do not use on patients with a known sensitivity to the dressing or any of its components.
• Do not use on dry or necrotic tissues.
• It is not intended to be used as a surgical sponge or to achieve haemostasis in heavily bleeding wounds.
• When used on infected wounds, the infection should be inspected and treated in accordance with local clinical protocol.
• If the dressing is not easily removed, moisten it with saline, and then remove.
• The dressing may adhere if used on very lightly exuding wounds.
• Reuse might increase risk of infection and hinder performance.
• Experience is limited in case of newly born, children and pregnancy.
