PRODUCT DETAILS
SelectSilver with Active Fluid ManagementTM is a one-of-a-kind dressing technology. Intended for 7-day single-use under the advisement of a health care professional, SelectSilver dressings are the most cost-effective advanced dressing available. The dressings were designed to provide better wound protection at an attractive price and reduce the number of dressings required. They help clinicians protect a wound from trauma, control microbial load, and create the right environment essential for good wound healing.
The unique bi-layer construction of a Select Silver dressing provides ACTIVE fluid movement, rather than the passive absorption provided by traditional dressings. SelectSilver is crafted with special polymeric materials that preferentially move fluid to one side of the dressing. The mechanical pumping action does not wear out over time permitting less frequent dressing changes.
A SelectSilver dressing is used as a contact layer in the direction that complements the goals of the clinician's therapy plan. Active Fluid Management can be used to remove exudate from a draining wound or to hydrate a dry wound depending on the direction applied. To make this simple, a SelectSilver dressing has printing on one side: Higher Drainage - This Side Up Lower Drainage - This Side Down.
SelectSilver dressings are comfortable, thin and white and can easily be cut-to-size. They are non-adhering, do not leave debris in the wound after removal, and do not stain the periwound area.
SelectSilver dressings allow clinicians to take a proactive approach to wound care by optimizing wound moisture balance, preventing maceration or desiccation, and potentially reducing the risk of re-infection.
SelectSilver dressings allow care facilities to dramatically reduce costs in terms of a lower cost per dressing, fewer primary dressing changes, less nursing time/visits and reduced formulary and protocol complexity.
INDICATIONS

donor sites, lacerations, abrasions, and Stage I-IV dermal ulcers (vascular, venous, pressure, and
