With the calcium in the dressing being exchanged with sodium from wound fluid, the dressing will turn into gel when in contact with wound exudates, which maintains a moist wound healing environment and is ideal for the management of exuding wounds.
Silver ions damage bacterial cell walls and interfere with DNA synthesis. Silver ions also denature proteins and enzymes and inhibit protein synthesis, killing the bacterium.
We have developed a complete in house process to convert cellulose fiber into CMC fibre which turns into crystal gel when in contact with exudates. We have also established know-how for the production of CMC dressings.
