1 X Cavidagel 30gm Sterile Hydrogel Wound Filler With Alginate  DHL EXPRESS

Cavidagel is sterile amorphous hydrogel with antimicrobial silver and alginate for effective autolytic debridement and necrotic tissues. Cavidagel harnesses the power of silver, releasing silver at a controlled level for broad spectrum antimicrobial action, without harming tissue cells. The silver is suspended in the hydrogel to control its release over a period of up to 7 days. It offers antimicrobial protection over a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi, including MRSA and VRE. Cavidagel kills microbes, but is completely biocompatible with the tissue cells of healing.

- antimicrobial protection over a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi
- kills microbes, but is biocompatible with the tissue cells of healing
