Antimicrobial Wound Dressings

Antimicrobial wound dressings are designed to prevent infection and promote healing by incorporating agents that kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms. These dressings are used in the management of acute and chronic wounds, such as surgical incisions, burns, ulcers, and traumatic injuries. By reducing microbial load, they protect against infection, reduce odor, and create an optimal environment for healing. Common antimicrobial agents include silver, iodine, and honey, which are integrated into the dressing materials.
