Sofargen Silver Sulfadiazine Gel 1% (25 g tube)
Sofargen Gel is a water-based topical dressing containing Silver Sulfadiazine. A gel with a high aqueous content (over 95%), it keeps the wound hydrated by promoting the tissue repair process, creates a barrier to external agents and protects the injured skin due to the presence of silver. It also promotes debridement in necrotic lesions. The presence of Silver Sulfadiazine, a metallorganic compound obtained by reaction of silver nitrate with Sulfadiazine, prevents microbial contamination of the dressing and keeps the wound environment free of other exogenous bacteria. The special formulation of the product creates an environment that facilitates the natural healing process and provides an effective barrier to microbial penetration. The product remains easily 'in situ' and is unaffected by stretching of the wound edges. It can be easily removed by cleaning the wound with saline solution.
