Description

These instructions are for TRITEC® and TRITEC® Silver.

TRITEC and TRITEC Silver contact layer dressings utilize Active Fluid Management® (AFM®) technology. The three part design combines two layers of high-performance fabrics through a micro-knit process, creating a powerful moisture transfer mechanism that pulls away excess exudate. This patented design keeps the wound bed moist, the periwound skin healthy, and harmful exudate away from healing wounds facilitating healing in hard to heal, highly draining chronic wounds.

TRITEC Silver dressings provide an antimicrobial barrier to microbial colonization in the dressing and reduce microbial penetration through the dressing. The release of silver into the dressing is activated by the body’s own sodium and begins inactivating pathogens within one hour of dressing application. Antimicrobial activity lasts up to 7 days*.
