Kendall AMD Foam Plus Dressings

PHMB Antimicrobial Foam Dressing

Kendall™ AMD Antimicrobial Foam Plus Dressings provide a moist wound-healing environment for a wide variety of wounds. Kendall™ AMD antimicrobial foam dressings contain 0.5% Polyhexamethylene Biguanide (PHMB), a bacteria-killing polymer. Highly effective and safe, PHMB attacks bacteria on and within the dressing, limiting cross-contamination and helping to provide a bacteria-free wound healing environment.

    5. Place Kendall™ AMD Antimicrobial Foam P LUS Dressing onto the wound surface and hold in place by covering with adhesive tape or an appropriate secondary dressing
