In hospitalized patients, the implantation of an intravascular device is one of the main causes of nosocomial infections; this is why Emodial has developed a new type of advanced antiseptic dressing based on the controlled release of silver ions. The advantages of these silver-releasing dressings in the management of intravascular devices have been shown by their anti-bacterial activity, anti-fungal activity, low toxicity, no bacterial resistance and a broad spectrum of action.

For those doing peritoneal dialysis, it is very important that the exit site heals properly because it provides greater resistance against local vascular access infections. Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of advanced dressings containing silver ions, their antibacterial and almost physiological function that helps heal the exit-site in the post-operative period. Find out about exit-site healing results obtained using EXIT-PAD®AG with silver ions. READ MORE...

The first choice of vascular access for haemodialysis patients is usually an arteriovenous fistula. When an AVF access is difficult to implement or there are contraindications, the most common alternative is a central venous catheter. This however, poses a greater risk of infection for the patient and a relative increase in hospital costs. The best way to reduce the risk of infection is, without doubt, to develop a series of prevention measures that involve both patients and healthcare professionals. Another ally in the prevention of infections are CVC dressings that release silver ions, such as EXIT-PAD®AG, which when applied to the CVC insertion...

Preventing catheter site infections is essential for proper peritoneal dialysis maintenance. These infections can have serious consequences for the patient such as peritonitis, loss of the catheter and drop-out from this dialysis method. In addition to proper catheter management, which is the basic approach for preventing infections, numerous experiences have been reported in literature that use advanced dressings with silver ions that aim to stabilize the exit-site through "continuous" disinfection, in order to reduce the incidence of catheter site infections and improve management of patients on dialysis. See all the results related to the study on infection prevention using silver ions. READ MORE...
