Silver Moisture Wicking Interdry Silver Antimicrobial Dressing Skin Fold Management is a medical product designed to manage excess moisture and prevent skin irritation in skin folds, such as in obese individuals, patients with mobility issues, or people with incontinence. It consists of an interlocking fabric dressing infused with silver, which has moisture-wicking and antimicrobial properties. The dressing helps to keep the skin dry, prevent bacterial growth, and promote healing in areas where skin-on-skin contact can lead to skin breakdown, infections, and discomfort. It is a suitable product for skin fold management, particularly in areas like the abdomen, groin, and under the breasts.
InterDry Dressing is specifically designed for the treatment of moisture associated with macerated skin, ideal for wound dressings for leg ulcers. InterDry Dressing features a highly effective moisture management layer of quickly-absorbed antimicrobial silver bonded to the fabric. The inert hydrophobic barrier retains the durable silver, proving greater conservation and increased wearing time, thus optimizing silver release and antimicrobial protection. It can be used to control moisture, pathogens, itching, skin maceration and odor. Furthermore, it absorbs a 50% greater amount of moisture than regular around wound dressings, making InterDry Dressing a versatile solution for managing moisture and preventing periwound skin maceration. InterDry Dressing should be used as part of an individualized long-term wound healing treatment plan for optimal results. InterDry Dressing is highly seasoned and can help to promote the unique healing of widespread hydrated macerated skin.
