About the product
Biatain® Fiber Ag is an antimicrobial gelling fiber indicated for moderate to highly exuding acute and chronic wounds.*1
With low shrinkage and high absorption, Biatain® Fiber Ag effectively manages exudate by staying in shape and reduces exudate pooling and maceration within the dressing.
When exudate is absorbed, silver is released within the dressing.*1 A surfactant has been added to help the silver access bacteria within the dressing, for rapid antibacterial performance within 30 minutes of application.**1
Product description
Low shrinkage
Biatain® Fiber Ag stays in shape to minimize dead space. It forms a strong cohesive gel to allow for easy one-piece removal.***
High absorption
Biatain® Fiber Ag effectively absorbs and retains high volumes of exudate and effectively transfers exudate to a secondary dressing. The unique HexaLock Technology integrates the gelling fibers in a reinforced hexagon net, giving Biatain® Fiber Ag the strength to lock in exudate to reduce exudate pooling for optimal healing conditions.
When exudate is absorbed, silver is released within the dressing. A surfactant has been added to help the silver access bacteria within the dressing, for rapid antibacterial performance within 30 minutes of application.**1 It offers sustained broad spectrum antimicrobial activity for up to 7 days.*2
