Product Info
Pharma-Algi® F Silver Carbon: is made of carbon felt sandwiched between 2 nonwoven layers made of 100% Calcium Alginate
fibers with ionic silver to adsorb bad odour.
They are available as flat sheet for superficial wounds or as ribbon for cavity wounds that will need secondary dressing for fixation.
• 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.
Pharma-Algi F Silver
dressing to manage infected wounds or those prone to infection, full and partial thickness wounds, with
moderate to heavy exudates that have breached dermis which may also be prone to minor bleeding:
• 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.
1- Cleanse the wound in accordance with normal procedures.
2- Choose a dressing which is slightly larger than the wound and place it in intimate contact with the
wound base, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
3- Apply using an appropriate dressing technique.
4- Cover with an appropriate retention dressing. Wound exudate will evaporate from the gel surface; the
secondary dressing should not hinder this evaporative process where exudate is heavy.
5- Generally, dressings should be changed daily in heavily exuding wounds, reducing to twice weekly (or
weekly) as healing proceeds.
6- To remove Pharma-Algi® F Ag/ Pharma-Algi® F Ag Carbon, use tweezers, forceps or a gloved hand to gently lift the dressing away – The dressing may adhere if used on a very lightly exuding wound. Removal of the dressing is facilitated by saturating the wound with saline.
