The Smith & Nephew Silver Gelling Durafiber Ag Dressing is a next-generation antimicrobial wound dressing designed to manage moderate to heavily exuding wounds while reducing the risk of infection. Engineered with Hydrolock® technology, this silver-infused dressing forms a cohesive gel upon contact with wound exudate, maintaining a moist wound environment and enabling easy, pain-free dressing changes.

Overview

Durafiber Ag is composed of strong, non-woven gelling fibers impregnated with ionic silver (Ag+), which is released in the presence of moisture. This combination delivers sustained antimicrobial protection for up to 7 days and superior fluid handling capacity. Its high tensile strength ensures the dressing remains intact during removal, minimizing disruption to the wound bed.
