Amerx AmeriGel Hydrogel Saturated Gauze Dressing Clinical Box of 30 Foil packets

AmeriGel¨ Gauze Dressing is the only impregnated gauze dressing on the market today with OakinTM. Extracted from nature, OakinTM provides antimicrobial, antifungal and aggressive autolytic debriding properties. In a MIC test, OakinTM demonstrated bactericidal activity (in-vitro) against 49 gram + and gram - microbes, including Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Pseudomonas, Candida and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Other ingredients include Zinc Acetate, well known for its skin protective properties and Polyethylene Glycol, which helps to maintain a moist wound environment. As a wound filler, AmeriGel¨ can be utilized to wick or pack wounds, used under compression and changed daily. AmeriGel¨'s primary mechanisms of action are to decrease cell membrane permeability, proliferate proteins to the wound bed, prompt wound contracture and promote the development of granulation tissue without being cytotoxic to fibroblasts. AmeriGel¨ helps to combat infection, reduce wound bioburden and provide an antimicrobial barrier to prevent infections. Ordinary glycerin or saline-based impregnated gauze merely maintain a moist wound environment that enables the removal of necrotic or devitalized tissue. OakinTM assists to lyse or break down necrotic tissue and softens eschar, often without the need for more costly enzymatic agents. AmeriGel¨ is not tissue selective; therefore it can be used on red, black or yellow wounds. Some dense fibrin caps or tenacious fibrin deposits may need to be mechanically removed. This item is NOT returnable.
