Indications

ASSIST Silver provides an antimicrobial barrier to microbial colonization in the graft cover and reduces microbial penetration through the graft cover.

Contraindications

Mode of Use/Application

ASSIST Silver can be used throughout the healing process. Prepare the graft site, and apply the graft according to clinical protocol. Remove ASSIST Silver graft cover from the package, taking note of the printing.

The printed side of the graft cover should be applied away from the graft, and an absorbent secondary layer may be applied on top. Secure with an appropriate fixative such as roll gauze, adhesive bordered gauze, transparent film or tape.

Optimal performance of ASSIST Silver requires direct contact with the graft. ASSIST Silver can be cut as necessary. The secondary layer may be changed as often as needed without disturbing the ASSIST Silver primary graft cover.

Removal & Change Frequency

ASSIST Silver should be changed when clinically indicated or as prescribed by a health care professional. Carefully remove the secondary layer and the ASSIST Silver from the graft. The graft cover can be moistened with sterile saline or water to ease removal if necessary.
