AMD Gauze
AMD Gauze is a high-quality, antimicrobial dressing designed to provide superior protection and care for wounds. Infused with Polyhexamethylene Biguanide (PHMB), AMD Gauze effectively reduces the risk of infection by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms within the dressing.
AMD Gauze Features:
- Antimicrobial Protection: AMD Gauze is impregnated with PHMB, which offers broad-spectrum effectiveness against gram-negative, gram-positive, and fungi/yeast microorganisms, including MRSA and VRE.
- Infection Control: Helps prevent infections from growing and spreading within the dressing, minimizing the risk of hospital-acquired infections.
- Versatile Use: Can be used as both a primary and secondary dressing to manage bacterial log counts in the wound bed and protect against bacterial proliferation through the gauze.
- Gentle on Skin: Designed to be gentle on normal skin flora, ensuring comfort and safety for patients.
Benefits of AMD Gauze
- Reduces Cross-Contamination: Limits cross-contamination from patient to patient, patient to clinician, and patient to the environment.
- Effective Barrier: Acts as a primary bacterial barrier, maintaining log counts in the wound without negatively impacting wound healing.
