Description
Melgisorb Ag Melgisorb Ag is a highly absorbent, antimicrobial calcium alginate dressing for the treatment of critically colonized and infected superficial and deep wounds. The structural stability of the fibers enables them to be removed with little residue when changing dressings.
According to an international consensus, the bacterial load in infectious wounds can be reduced through antimicrobial effectiveness (1). It also acts as an antimicrobial barrier in wounds that are at high risk of infection or reinfection (1). As shown in in vitro testing, Melgisorb Ag can inactivate germs (bacteria and fungi) in the wound within four hours for up to 14 days (2),(3).
Melgisorb Ag can inactivate large amounts of exudate to record. The alginate fibers absorb large amounts of exudate and form a soft gel, which in turn provides a moist wound environment that supports the healing process.
Size: 5 x 5 cm
Advantages:
- Highly absorbent3 (absorbs more than 45%* other silver-containing dressings)
- Fast and lasting antimicrobial effect (2),(3)
- High fiber strength allows removal in one piece
- Specially developed for moderately to heavily exuding superficial and deep wounds
- Strong exudate
- Secondary dressing required

The use of Melgisorb Ag is contraindicated in the following cases:
- In patients with a known hypersensitivity to alginate or silver
- In surgical implantations
- When stopping severe bleeding
- When applying directly to dry or barely secreting wounds
1. Clean and irrigate the wound according to existing guidelines. Cut or fold the bandage according to the size of the wound.
2. Fill deep wounds loosely and make sure that the bandage does not protrude beyond the edges of the wound. Place directly on the wound bed.
3. Cover and secure Melgisorb Ag with a secondary dressing
In the event of a clinically manifest infection, the local use of silver does not replace systemic or other adequate infection therapy.
The dressing can be used when used stick to dry or barely secreting wounds. If the dressing cannot be changed easily, moisten it with a sterile saline solution and only then remove it.
Avoid contact with electrodes or conductive gels during electronic measurements such as electrocardiogram (ECG) and electroencephalogram (EEG).
The bandage must be removed before a magnetic resonance examination of the patient.
