Device typeExudate-absorbent dressing, hydrophilic-gel, antimicrobial: A wound covering, typically made of a hydrocolloid, hydrofibre, chitosan or alginate (salts and acids extracted from seaweed), intended to produce a water-absorbent gel upon contact with wound exudate, and that contains an antimicrobial agent [e.g., silver (Ag), honey]. It assists in wound healing by absorbing exudate in wounds (e.g., ulcers, burns, surgical wounds, lacerations, abrasions) for minimal wound maceration, allowing wound debridement, and creating a moist wound-healing environment while reducing microbial colonization within the dressing. The device may be in the form of a flat sheet/film, ribbon, rope, foam, liquid, or powder. After application, this device cannot be reused.
