McKesson Silver Gelling Fiber Dressing 3/4 x 18 Inch Rope Sterile

The McKesson Silver Gelling Fiber Dressing Rope (3/4 x 18 Inch) is an advanced antimicrobial wound dressing designed for moderate to heavily exuding wounds, including those at risk of infection. Made from a blend of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and high G calcium alginate, this highly absorbent dressing transforms into a soft gel upon contact with wound fluid, conforming closely to the wound bed while maintaining a moist healing environment.

Infused with ionic silver, it provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection, helping reduce bioburden and combat pathogens—including antibiotic-resistant strains such as MRSA and VRE. Its reinforced fiber structure with a hidden nylon layer ensures excellent wet strength, allowing for intact removal even in challenging wound conditions such as tunneling or cavity wounds.

Designed for extended wear, this dressing may remain in place for up to 7 days, minimizing dressing changes and improving patient comfort.
