Clinical Data
Antimicrobial Efficacy
- This dressing demonstrate efficacy against a wide range of pathogens.
- it is against commercially available silver dressings showed higher antimicrobial activity (Against S. aures and MRSA).
A – Entercoccus hirae, B – Bacillus subtillus, C – MRSA, D – Entercoccus faecalis, E – Pseudmonas aeruginosa, F – Escherichia coli, G – Acinetobacter baumannii
Absorbency
• KOTSZR CA+Ag dressings have demonstrated greater absorbency compared to other commercially available silver dressings.
• Good Exudate Management promotes positive healing progression of the wound.
Tensile Strength
- KOTSZR CA+Ag dressings show 5x more strength when compared to other commercially available silver dressings.
- It aids in better ease of application at the wound site.
Wet Tensile Strength
• KOTSZR CA+Ag dressings have significantly higher wet tensile strength when compared to other commercially available silver dressings.
• It aids in easy, trauma-free removal of dressings from wound site.
