Layers heat-laminated into single dressing. Used in clinical settings for wound management; applied by healthcare providers. Nanocrystalline silver coating applied via physical vapor deposition; provides antimicrobial barrier for up to 7 days. Dressing absorbs exudate while maintaining moist wound environment; silver ions provide antimicrobial protection. Cut-to-size capability allows adaptation to various wound geometries. Benefits include bacterial penetration barrier and exudate management, supporting healing in partial and full-thickness wounds. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Biocompatibility demonstrated through in vivo and in vitro testing in accordance with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993 standards. Performance relies on comparison of materials and manufacturing processes to the predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics Three-layer laminate: outer polyurethane film, central polyurethane foam, and nanocrystalline silver-coated polyurethane film contact layer. Silver coating applied via physical vapor deposition. Biocompatibility per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993.
