How Biatian Fiber Ag addresses these challenges
Biatain Fiber Ag is an advanced gelling fiber dressing designed for the management of moderate to highly exuding wounds that are infected or at risk of infection. It combines excellent exudate management, biofilm disruption and sustained broad spectrum antimicrobial activity** to help address the key factors that can complicate wound healing.
Excellent exudate management
Biatain Fiber Ag absorbs and retains high levels of exudate to help reduce the risk of leakage and maceration. It conforms closely to the wound bed with minimal shrinkage, helping to reduce risk of gaps and exudate pooling.*** Together these properties support a moist wound healing environment for optimal healing.
- Easy one-piece removal
- Supports autolytic debridement
Disrupts, kills and prevents biofilm reformation
By disrupting and destabilising biofilm, Biatain Fiber Ag enables silver ions to reach and kill bacteria more effectively, helping to reduce the risk of biofilm reformation within the wound.**
- Helps prevent biofilm reformation
- Fast antibacterial effect within 30 minutes†
Sustained broad-spectrum antimicrobial action
Biatain Fiber Ag provides sustained broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity throughout wear time, including against antibiotic-resistant microorganisms**. It provides effective management of local wound infection through the continuous release of silver.8
- 99.9% antimicrobial effect within 24 hours**
- Protects the wound from external contamination**
The science behind the silver
Biatian Fiber Ag contains two ingredients that together provide a triple action effect: Silver and LAE (Ethyl Lauroyl Arginate).
LAE acts as a surfactant and chelator in one, disrupting and destabilising biofilm, to expose bacteria and make it more vulnerable to silver.
This enables silver to penetrate quickly, killing bacteria within 30 minutes.†
The Silver then keeps working—to deliver sustained antimicrobial action for lasting protection throughout dressing weartime.+
