• Patient Comfort – It has been suggested that lower vacuum pressure levels (<80 MMhg) may reduce tissue damage and pain without compromising clinical effectiveness
• Anti-Microbial Gauze – These dressings contain PHMB (polyhexamethylene biguanide), a bacteria killing polymer that attacks bacteria, helping to keep infection out of the wound and eliminate cross contamination. It is effective against MRSA, VRE, and several other bacteria
• Oil Emulsion Gauze – Protects against adherence to granulation tissue while maintaining a moist wound environment. Also helps insure patient comfort during dressing changes
• Simplicity – No cutting, measuring, or guessing. The AMD gauze easily conforms to size and shape of wound
