AMD dressings contain PHMB (polyhexamethylene biguanide), a bacteria-killing polymer.
PHMB attacks bacteria on and within the dressing fabric, helping keep infection out of the wound and limiting cross-contamination.
AMD dressings treated with PHMB are used like standard dressings automatically comply with your facility’s existing protocol.
Here’s how PHMB works:
1. PHMB binds to bacteria’s phospholipid (outer) membrane
2. Disrupts membrane, causing cytoplasm to leak out
3. Cell’s protective layer disintegrates
4. Cell collapses and dies
Resists bacterial colonization within the dressing.
Reduce bacterial penetration through the dressing.
Broad-spectrum effectiveness provides protection against gram negative, gram positive and fungi/yeast microorganisms including MRSA and VRE.
