1. • Release of antimicrobial silver: Kemagel® Ag contains a Metallic silver which have a structure composed of silver particles supported throughout a matrix of amorphous silicon dioxide. These silver particles are found on the surface of silica and also embedded throughout the silica structure. The metallic silver particles act as a reservoir for control the release of silver ions (Ag+) that are the active agent against bacteria. The presence of both surface and embedded silver particles gives the material a combination of immediate antimicrobial activity combined with long-term durability.
   • Broad spectrum antimicrobial activity: due to the dispersion of silver particles inside the gel matrix, it prevents colonization of bacteria at the wound site. Kemagel® Ag functions as a long-lasting, antimicrobial barrier by inhibiting the growth of wide spectrum of microorganisms including Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichiacoli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa; Gram-positive bacteria suchas Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA and VRE; and fungi such as Aspergillus niger and Penicillium nigricans. So it help to manage the wound site bioburden and provide continues antimicrobial activity.
   • Having double action, where it can be used over dry and wet wounds:
     • Hydrogel Effect in case of dry wound:

   Where Kemagel® Ag rehydrates the dry wound and promotes the dissolution of necrotic tissue, facilitating fast and effective debridement.

   • Hydrocolloid effect in case of wet wound:

   Where Kemagel® Ag absorbs dissolved necrosis, slough and excessive exudates from the wound.

   The good absorption properties reduce the risk of leakage and maceration.

   • Debriding action: Kemagel® Ag rehydrates necrotic tissue and aids debridement.
   • Desloughing action: Kemagel® Ag absorbs slough and exudate without damaging fragile granulation tissue.
   • Creates moist wound healing environment: Kemagel® Ag helps to create an optimal moist wound management environment which promotes healing, reduces the likelihood of scarring and helps soothe pain.
   • Stable and counteract leakage and maceration: The viscous texture of the gel makes it stay in place, and even after absorption of debris and exudate the gel will remain cohesive and counteract leakage and maceration.
   • Easy to remove: The gel is easy to remove due to high cohesion even after absorption of debris and exudate.

• Kemagel® Ag is used to create a moist wound environment for the treatment of minor conditions such as minor burns, superficial lacerations, cuts and abrasions (partial thickness wounds) and skin tears.
• Kemagel® Ag creates moist wound environment which assists in autolytic debridement of wounds covered with necrotic tissues.
