Island dressings contain PHMB (polyhexamethylene biguanide), which is highly effective against most organisms and limits cross-contamination from patient to patient, patient to clinician, and patient to the environment
Resist bacterial colonization within the dressing, helping to prevent infections from growing and spreading in the dressing
Reduce bacterial penetration through the dressing, helping to minimize infection exposure from strike-though
Broad-spectrum effectiveness provides protection against gram negative, gram positive, and fungi/yeast microorganisms, including MRSA and VRE to help reduce the risk of hospital acquired infection
