Kendall AMD Antimicrobial Foam Dressing Kendall AMD Antimicrobial Foam dressings have been developed to support your efforts in managing both moisture and bacterial balance. The dressing is an open cell polyurethane foam dressing and is impregnated with 0.5% Polyhexamethylene Biguanide (PHMB), a highly effective, low toxic antimicrobial agent. The dressings are effective against gram positive and gram negative bacteria. They also work against fungi and yeast. Polyhexamethylene Biguanide (PHMB) is a highly effective, low toxic antimicrobial agent which has been commercially used for over 75 years. Suitable for: - Infected wounds - Skin tears - Partial thickness wounds - Full thickness wounds - Exit sites - Venous ulcers - Diabetic ulcers - Acute wounds Features: - Moisture and bacterial management are commonly noted as key elements in preparing a wound bed for healing. - A moist environment helps to speed healing and promotes growth of new tissue. Wound exudate is protein and cell rich fluid that is a source of neutrophils and macrophages that are designed to promote healing. - Most wounds are contaminated with some level of bacteria, which may not directly inhibit healing. However, when bacteria begin to replicate and form colonies, they may overwhelm the host defense which could potentially lead to delayed healing and infection. - No know resistance, commonly used for over 75 years
