Covidien Kendall™ AMD Antimicrobial Foam Dressing

Kendall™ AMD antimicrobial foam dressings are uniquely engineered to simultaneously manage moisture and bacteria, thus promoting an ideal, moist wound healing environment. The dressings feature:

• A micro-structured, open-cell surface that absorbs exudate
• Vertical wicking action that moves fluid into foam core
• A dense core that maximizes retention of exudate
• Soft and comfortable
• Contain PHMB (Polyhexamethylene Biguanide)
• Supports a moist and bactericidal environment, providing a balanced environment
• Resist bacterial colonization within the dressing
• Reduce bacterial penetration through the dressing
• Unique mode of action; Foam absorbs wound fluid; PHMB binds to foam material and kills bacteria
• Provides protection against gram-, gram+ ( including MRSA and VRE) and fungi/yeast microorganisms
• Limits cross-contamination from and to the patient, clinician and environment
• Proven effective against repeated contamination for up to seven days
• Sterile and hypoallergenic
• Have been commonly used for 75 years with no known resistence
• Cost less than most antimicrobial treatments and silver dressings
• Compliant with most existing wound care protocols
