ALGICELL® Ag’s winning combination stands above the competition

Win with the efficacy of 7-day, broad spectrum antimicrobial strength*

*ALGICELL® Ag Antimicrobial Effectiveness Study: Report No. MG120_000/S. May 24, 2007. Data on file.

ALGICELL® Ag, with 1.4% silver, provides superior bactericidal action that goes to work almost immediately. With its sophisticated ionic transfer technology, the dressing provides an effective barrier to bacterial penetration, and protects the wound against bacterial colonization.

Win with absorption superior to that of the leading competitor**

**ALGICELL™ Ag Absorption Study. Report No. STS-A06-023. March 3, 2006. Data on file.

Absorption with an optimal gelling profile

ALGICELL® Ag, comprised of a proprietary blend of mannuronic (high gelling) and guluronic (high wet-strength alginic acids, is designed to gel well while keeping its physical integrity for intact removal
The dressing’s high absorption capacity also helps to reduce the risk of tissue maceration and allows for increased time between dressing changes
Unlike other products, ALGICELL® Ag does not leave any silver coated nylon thread residue in the wound upon removal of the dressing

ALGICELL® Ag’s optimal gelling profile:

Gels well

Minimizes fibrous residue
Maintains a moist environment, conducive to wound healing

Remains intact

Facilitates ease of removal

Dressings are magnified 600% after saturation with hypertonic saline solution.

Win with a lower overall cost of care

Because ALGICELL® Ag is highly cost effective, it can be used more often to help reduce the risk of infection in moderately to heavily exuding wounds that include:

Diabetic foot ulcers
Leg ulcers (venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers and leg ulcers of mixed etiology)

Pressure ulcers/sores (partial and full thickness)
Donor sites
Traumatic and surgical wounds

ALGICELL® Ag is not indicated for treatment of third degree burns, patients with a known sensitivity to alginates or silver, or control of heavy bleeding.
