Medline Opticell AG Plus Silver Wound Dressing Benefits:

• Reduces dressing change frequency:
  - Opticells proprietary Chytoform technology delivers exceptional absorbency, which can help reduce dressing change frequency
  - Consequently, patients are subjected to fewer dressing changes, wound bed disruption is minimized and treatment costs may be reduced
• Creates an optimal healing environment:
  - Manages moisture to help promote autolytic debridement
  - Optimizes wound contact with a highly conformable low profile
  - Maintains wound coverage with Surface Area Memory (SAM)
• Gentle patient care: 
  - Prevents maceration by wicking fluid only vertically, not laterally
  - Reduces dressing change frequency with exceptional absorbency
  - Separates gently from the wound in one piece using advanced Cytoform technology
• Helps to Prevent Maceration:
  - Opticells Chytoform technology wicks fluid only vertically, not laterally. This reduces the risk of periwound maceration because wound fluid is not able to migrate across the dressing to reach this vulnerable skin 
• Promotes gentle, pain-free removal:
  - With its superb strength and unique gelling properties, application and one-piece removal is gentle on wounds and virtually pain-free for patients
• Conforming to the Wound:
  - Opticells conformable and thin profile provides optimal contact with the wound. Other dressings with reinforced fibers, on the other hand, may exhibit a ridging effect that can limit wound contact
