Unique 3D Foam Structure For Superior Absorption

When in contact with exudate, the unique 3D foam structure of Biatain® Ag Non-Adhesive conforms closely to the wound bed for superior absorption – even under compression (5).

Designed To Prevent Infection

The sustained silver release profile ensures a homogenous distribution of silver ions providing a continuous antibacterial effect during the entire wear time (up to 7 days) (6).

Patented With A Silver Complex With Broad Antibacterial Profile

Independent studies have proven that Biatain® Ag is effective on bacteria commonly found in infected non-healing wounds (3,4). Clinical studies have shown that infected wounds heal faster with Biatain® Ag than with other wound dressings, including other antibacterial dressings (1,2,7).

Continuous Antibacterial Effect During Entire Wear Time

Due to the sustained silver release profile, there is a continuous antibacterial effect during the entire wear time (up to 7 days) (6).

Mode Of Action

In the presence of exudate, silver is continuously released into the wound bed for up to 7 days.

Composition

Biatain® Ag Non-Adhesive is a soft and flexible absorbent polyurethane foam that is patented with a silver complex homogeneously dispersed throughout the foam matrix.

Usage

Biatain® Ag Non-Adhesive can be used for a wide range of exuding wounds with delayed healing due to bacteria, or where there is a risk of infection, including leg ulcers, pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers. second-degree burns, donor sites, postoperative wounds, and skin abrasions. Biatain® Ag Non-Adhesive can be used in combination with compression therapy.
