Pharma-Algi® F Silver is made of 100% Calcium Alginate fibers with ionic silver.

• 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.
