Antimicrobial wound dressing. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of fibres (diagonal) from an Aquacel Ag wound dressing. The fibres of this dressing are made from sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) that contain 1.2 percent silver (coloured dots) in an ionic form. In the presence of sodium ions secreted from a wound,the silver ions are released and exert a sustained antimicrobial effect against a wide range of organisms including MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). This protects the wound and helps aid healing | |
