    ECBDEXTENDED CARE & BURN DRESSINGwith ADVANCED SILVER for Superior Performance.

    ECBD is a silver wound dressing that uses a unique kind of silver technology: silver oxysalts. Silveroxysalts offer higher oxidation states of silver* (Ag2+, Ag3+) capable of interacting with microbial

    DNA, proteins and lipids, as well as provide potent oxidizing action through the increased power

    of Ag2+,3+ for advanced biocidal activity. Consequently, exsaltT7 has the ability to powerfully

    interact with microbes without needing a high content of silver to be effective*. exsaltT7s silver

    oxysalts technology, combined with a low silver content, makes the dressing less toxic* to the

    wound environment and more gentle* to use. exsaltT7 has also demonstrated only a nominal

    shift in pH, providing comfort for your patientswithout sacrificing biocidal activity. In addition, the

    combination of unique silver technology and low silver content means the silver dressings can be

    produced efficiently and at a low production cost, resulting in a cost-efficient dressing.* This means

    potential cost savings for the management of wounds!

    ECBD consists of two outer layers of non-adherent high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with an inner

    layer of absorbent polyester, which has comparable absorbency to other synthetic fibre silver wound

    dressings*. All layers are coated with silver oxysalts. ECBD can absorb five times its weight (dry

    mass). If more exudate absorption is required, ECBD is compatible with other secondary dressings.

    It can also be used in conjunction with other advanced wound care technologies.

    Current Tactical Trauma Protocols state in extended care to change dressings every

    24 hours. Consider converting to silver impregnated dressings to reduce frequency

    of dressing changes. 6th Edition Journal of Special Operations Medicine 2012

    training supplement. Extended Care 6c page 12.

    ECBD can be placed on at the point of wounding and can remain in

    place for 7 days.

    different form of silver (Ag2+, Ag3+)

    +

    optimized level of silver=

    effective, gentle, cost-efficient silver

    dressing!

    High oxidation states of silver (Ag2+ and Ag3+) ha

    a stronger attraction for electrons than silver in th

    1+ state (Ag+), making them more likely to react w

    other species to gain those electrons for balance

    Hence, Ag2+ and Ag3+ oxidation states are more

    active than silver Ag+ and therefore highly effectiv

    killing microbes even with a low content of silver.*
