The Silvercel Adhesive Dressing is a hydro-alginate dressing that comprises high G along with other constituents. It consistently releases silver ions for up to seven days and acts as a barrier against bacteria and Candida Albicans. The Silvercel Non-Adhesive Dressing creates a non-adherent wound contact layer for the fast healing of the wound.
