How to Use Promogran Prisma Matrix Wound Dressing

Promogran Prisma Matrix is a dressing that absorbs drainage and contains a low level of silver that aids in killing bacteria 1. This dressing reacts with the drainage in the wound to form a gel which provides a moist wound-healing environment. Promogran Prisma Matrix is indicated for different types of wounds including abrasions, donor sites, full-thickness wounds, partial-thickness wounds, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers and venous ulcers 1. Applying the Promogran Prisma Matrix dressing incorrectly can delay wound healing and may cause complications related to infection 1.
