Q&A

Q: What is Mölnlycke Glucan Silver Dressing 5" x 6" (131210)?
A: The Mölnlycke Glucan Silver 131210 is a sterile antimicrobial wound contact dressing that combines silver with a glucan-coated mesh to help protect wounds from bacterial and fungal contamination while supporting healing.

Q: What is it used for?
A: It is used for partial- and full-thickness wounds, including pressure injuries, venous and diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, burns, and donor sites, especially when infection risk is present.

Q: How does it work?
A: The dressing acts as a barrier layer, where the mesh structure delivers silver ions for antimicrobial activity while the glucan component supports wound protection and handling.

Q: What are its key benefits?
A: It helps reduce bacterial and yeast contamination, protect the wound bed, and maintain a clean healing environment, while remaining flexible and easy to apply.

Q: What makes it different from standard silver dressings?
A: Unlike basic silver foams or alginates, this product uses a mesh-based carrier with glucan + silver, designed more as a contact and protective interface layer rather than a high-absorbency dressing.

Q: What size is this product?
A: This version is 5" x 6" (12.5 cm x 15 cm) and is supplied in packs of 5 dressings per package.

Maintenance Tips

• Single-use sterile dressing only — do not reuse or re-sterilize after application. Silver dressings are designed for one-time clinical use.
• Apply to a clean, appropriately prepared wound bed, following standard wound care (“clean and cover” approach) for infected or high-risk wounds.
• Ensure proper coverage of the wound with overlap onto surrounding skin to maintain seal, reduce leakage, and support moist healing conditions.
• Use a suitable secondary dressing if required to secure placement and manage exudate depending on wound condition.
• Change dressing based on exudate level or clinical guidance, typically when saturated or when performance decreases (often within several days depending on wound status).
• Do not use with incompatible agents such as hydrogen peroxide or petroleum-based products, which can reduce effectiveness of antimicrobial action.
• If removal is difficult, moisten with sterile saline or water to gently release the dressing and reduce trauma to surrounding skin.
• Inspect wound regularly for infection signs (increased redness, odor, pain, or drainage) and adjust treatment accordingly under clinical supervision.
• Store in a cool, dry place in original sterile packaging until use to maintain sterility and performance integrity.
