Fibrosol® Ag: are primary wound dressing made of carboxy methyl cellulose nonwoven containing silver.
• The characteristics of the fiber are such that it absorbs when it comes into intimate contact with liquid not via the usual mechanism of capillary action. Absorbed fluid is retained within the structure of the fiber. As Fibrosol® Ag absorbs exudate it is rapidly converted from a dry dressing to a soft coherent gel that maintains a moist wound environment for optimal wound healing, aids autolytic debridement, and it is easily removed with little or no damage to newly formed tissue.
• The presence of silver in the dressing provides a broad spectrum antimicrobial activity against many gram positive, gram negative bacteria and fungi.
• Fibrosol® Ag Dressings have five product lines Fibrosol® Ag pad, Fibrosol® Ag Island dressings, Fibrosol® Ag OTC bandages, Fibrosol® Ag Foam Gentle and Fibrosol® Ag Foam Basic.
1. Non-Adherent Fibrosol® Ag Wound Pad variants:
A. Fibrosol® Ag Non-Adhesive: Antimicrobial primary absorbent wound pad that is cut into different size, it
needs a secondary dressing for fixation. Available as flat sheets loose or stitch bonded for support upon
gelling or in the form of ribbon for tunnelling and cavity wounds.
B. Fibrosol® Ag Plus Non-Adhesive: Antimicrobial primary absorbent wound pad with the addition of Benzethonium chloride, which lowers biofilms’ surface tension to improve EDTA’s ability to remove metal ions from
them and exposes microorganisms to the antimicrobial effect of silver.
C. Fibrosol® Ag Extra Non-Adhesive: is made up of 2 layers of Fibrosol® Ag pad stitch bonded together
providing extra absorption and strength properties.
D. Fibrosol® Ag Plus Extra Non-Adhesive: is made up of 2 layers of Fibrosol® Ag Plus l stitch bonded together
providing extra absorption and strength properties2. Fibrosol® Ag island dressings and Fibrosol® Ag OTC bandage:
The pad is placed centrally on an adhesive substrate that extends beyond the border of the pad to allow
fixation without secondary dressing.

I.Fibrosol® Ag Foam Gentle or Fibrosol® Ag Extra Foam Gentle: is composed of soft absorbent polyurethane
foam laminated to a Fibrosol® Ag Non adhesive or Fibrosol® Ag Extra Non adhesive layer placed
as an island pad under a waterproof, virus proof and bacteria proof polyurethane film coated with
silicone adhesive that allow gentle dressing removal without pain.
The silicone adhesive layer is present either as a border surrounding the dressing or as a perforated layer
covering the whole dressing.
II. Fibrosol® Ag Foam Basic or Fibrosol® Ag Extra Foam Basic: is composed of soft absorbent polyurthane
foam laminated to a Fibrosol® Ag Non adhesive or Fibrosol® Ag Extra Non adhesive layer placed
as an island pad under a waterproof, virus proof and bacteria proof polyurethane film coated with hydrocolloid
adhesive which turns into gel upon absorption so maintains a moist wound environment.
The hydrocolloid layer is present either as a border surrounding the dressing or as a perforated layer
covering the whole dressing.FeaturesProvides excellent absorption and retention capabilities for moderate to highly exuding wounds.
Conforms to the wound surface to form an intimate contact.
Creates a moist environment that aids wound healing.
Acts as a bacterial barrier that prevents outer wound infection.
Helps reduce wound pain while the dressing is in situ and upon removal.
Supports wound healing by providing a moist wound healing environment.
Hemostatic effect.
