SFM's modified cellulose dressing platform combines sodium carboxymethyl cellulose with strengthening cellulose fibres.

On contact with wound exudate or blood, the dressing forms a gel. Even when moist, the gelled fibre structure remains intact.

Two gelling fibre platforms. Different material constructions.

Calcium alginate forms a gel through ion exchange when it reacts with wound exudate or blood. SFM's modified cellulose platform combines sodium carboxymethyl cellulose with strengthening cellulose fibres and also forms a gel on contact with exudate or blood.

Calcium alginate is a gelling fibre platform used in wound care.

SFM's Calcium Alginate Wound Dressings and Packing Rope are soft and conformable. The fibres react with wound exudate or blood to form a gel, creating a moist wound environment.

Advanced wound care starts long before the finished dressing.

This September, we are going behind SFM's wound care portfolio to look at the fibre expertise, development capability and specialist
manufacturing behind the materials we make for healthcare companies.

Follow the series throughout the month.

Fibre. Fluid. Silver.

Three considerations that have shaped our August focus on antibacterial wound care materials.

Venus Ag and Pluto Ag represent two distinct fibre-based platforms within the Sfm wound care portfolio.

Venus Ag is a cellulose-based gelling fibre with antimicrobial silver.

Pluto Ag is a reinforced calcium alginate with silver.

Both platforms demonstrate how fibre construction, fluid interaction and material selection contribute to the development of advanced wound care materials.

Behind the products is more than 120 years of fibre expertise, supported by scientific knowledge, technical capability and specialist manufacturing experience.

There is more to an antibacterial wound care material than silver alone.

The fibre platform, material construction, interaction with fluid and intended product requirements all matter when evaluating a wound care material.

SFM supports customers exploring established product platforms and development partners considering new fibre-based healthcare solutions.
