AMD Antimicrobial Dressings
Is Your Post-Operative Protocol Enough?
2.7% of all surgical procedures are complicated with an SSI.1 The cost of treating them can be high-- in clinicians' time, in healthcare dollars expended, and with the potential for serious and even life-threatening complications for patients. For most SSIs, the source of pathogens is the endogenous flora of the patient’s skin, mucous membranes or hollow viscera.2 Ordinary sterile dressings are porous and, especially after becoming moist, do not provide a barrier to bacterial invasion.3 In fact, they may become incubators for growth. Amongst the 2.7% of surgical procedures that result in an SSI, the average incremental cost to treat it is estimated to be €21,342.53.4
