Melcura Silver Gel 45g – Antimicrobial Silver Wound Gel

Melcura Silver Gel 45g is an antimicrobial silver wound gel formulated in a high-water-content hydrogel base to support the management of dry to moderately exuding partial- and full-thickness wounds.

The silver component provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, helping to manage wound bioburden and control bacterial growth in wounds that are infected or at risk of infection.

The hydrogel base provides moisture to dry and necrotic wounds, helping create a moist wound environment that supports gentle debridement and wound-bed management. Its gel consistency allows easy application while providing sufficient viscosity to remain in the wound bed.

Melcura Silver Gel is indicated for a range of wounds, including pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers under appropriate supervision, first- and second-degree burns, abrasions and lacerations.

The gel does not discolour or stain the surrounding tissue according to the supplied product information and may remain in the wound for up to 3 days, depending on the wound condition and clinical assessment.

For infected wounds, silver is generally intended for the initial phase of antimicrobial management. Once the wound is adequately controlled, a suitable non-silver dressing may be considered according to clinical assessment. Silver is not typically required for clean, closed surgical incisions.

Important Clinical Note

Once the infection or elevated bioburden has been controlled, a non-silver dressing may be considered according to the healthcare professional's assessment.
