Exsalt PT7 Contact Layer
SILVER TO THE POWER OF 3+
THE SILVER DRESSING WITH MORE POSITIVES
ExsaltTM PT7 is a silver dressing for chronic and acute wounds that utilizes Ag OxysaltsTM technology. Ag OxysaltsTM is a unique type of silver that delivers a quick 5 log bacteria kill rate while at the same time being gentle on patients and your budget.1-4 The result is a silver dressing with more positives.- Quickly Kills 99.999% of a broad spectrum of bacteria1
- Disrupts and breaks down biofilm to expose bacteria2
- Kills bacteria for up to seven days1
- Minimal stinging or pain3
- Cost Effective
THE POWER OF Ag OXYSALTS™ TECHNOLOGY
Silver is only effective at killing bacteria when it is missing electrons and in an ionic state. The more electrons that are missing, the more positively charged the silver becomes. This leads to a greater ability of silver to disrupt the normal function of the bacteria4. ExsaltTM PT7 dressings with Ag OxysaltsTM technology is designed with 3 missing electrons (Ag3+) to make it more effective at killing bacteria. Other silver dressings are only missing one electron (Ag1+), making their silver less effective4.Exsalt™ PT7 Contact Layer
- Two outer layers of flexible, non-adherent
high-density polyethylene (HDPE) - Can be applied wet or dry, cut to shape to fit
wound area, and folded/shaped for cavities - Polyester inner layer offers absorbency and
flexibility - All layers are coated with Ag OxysaltsTM

DISRUPTS AND BREAKS DOWN in vitro BIOFILM TO EXPOSE BACTERIA2
in vitro studies show Ag OxysaltsTM technology disrupts and kills P. aeruginosa biofilm.
Molar concentrations of Ag OxysaltsTM technology were used to measure kill rates and to determine efficacy vs. biofilms after 24 hour exposure using the Calgary biofilm device evaluating MBEC and following the device manufacturer’s protocol;
biofilms were grown for 24 hours, then confirmed and visualized using microscopy and staining;
efficacy was demonstrated vs. P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, and E. coli biofilms.
DISRUPTS AND BREAKS DOWN in vitro BIOFILM TO EXPOSE BACTERIA2
In a in vitro assay, ExsaltTM PT7 dressings were shown to maintain its antimicrobial activity against a broad spectrum of bacteria for up to 7 days. This reduces the need for frequent dressing changes and unnecessary disturbance to the wound.
Exsalt™ PT7 DRESSINGS ARE GENTLE ON PATIENTS AND YOUR BUDGET
MINIMAL STINGING OR PAIN VS. ACTICOAT®7 DRESSING3
ExsaltTM PT7 dressings demonstrated only a nominal shift in pH,
at markedly lower silver concentration compared to most competitors. This means that patients experience minimal pain, so that comfort can be increased without compromising on biocidal effectiveness.
COST EFFECTIVE
As Ag OxysaltsTM technology is highly effcacious, less silver is required in the dressing. This means the silver coatings can be deposited more effciently on the dressing. This significantly lowers production costs and results in a more cost-effcient solution. In fact, ExsaltTM PT7 dressings offer significant cost savings in comparison to Acticoat®7 dressings, over seven-day use.
