Pharmapore® PU eXsorb Ag: Virus proof, bacteria proof and waterproof polyurethane film with antimicrobial highly absorbent silver wound pad.

The pad made of blend of superabsorbent acrylic fibers and viscose fibers, thermally laminated to antimicrobial silver containing low adherent PE net.

The dressing absorbs and interacts with wound exudates to form a soft, hydrophilic, gas-permeable gel that provides a moist environment that is believed to facilitate healing.

The pad acts as antimicrobial barrier due to the presence of Silver containing PE net to prevent colonization on the dressing.
Prophylaxis against infection especially for wounds at high risk of infection.
Puede absorber y atrapar 30 veces su peso en sangre y líquido.
The pad can quickly absorb wound exudates and form a gel. Exudates are locked inside the dressing away from wound and surrounding skin; this
prevents maceration and retains a humid surface environment to facilitate wound healing.
La almohadilla puede mantener los exudados absorbidos incluso bajo presión.
La gran absorbencia permite un menor número de cambios del apósito, con lo que no se altera sobremanera el frágil lecho de la herida.
La almohadilla suave y sedosa que está en contacto con la herida ofrece un efecto protector.
Retirada del apósito indolora y sin traumatismo.
La presencia de la red de PE como capa de contacto con la herida permite una absorción rápida y controlada de los exudados ligeros.

Polyurethane film has the advantage of being waterproof, virus proof and bacteria proof.
Heavily exuding acute and chronic wounds, e.g partial thickness pressure ulcers, first and second degree burns.

No existe ninguna contraindicación para la utilización de esta gama de productos.
No usar en pacientes con hipersensibilidad conocida a alguno de los componentes de los apósitos.
Experience is limited with newly born, infants and during pregnancy.

The silver ions of silver net are non-migratory. When Silver net was tested for zone of inhibition, there were no inhibitions of growth around the sample but only under the sample. This means that silver ions do not leach from the pad and act only at the pad surface when they come in contact with microorganisms.
Once wound fluid come in contact with the silver net, the silver is activated, and acts on the microbial cell by the following mechanisms:Damage to bacterial cell membrane, could lead to the leakage of cytoplasmfrom the cell, which would result in dehydrated and shrunken cells.
Silver atoms bind to thiol groups (-SH) in enzymes, and subsequently,cause the deactivation of enzymes.
Silver associates with DNA once they enter the cell, thus preventing  bacterial cell replication.
