Promogran Prisma Matrix Wound Dressing Features
- Stimulates new tissue development by encouraging the deposition and organization of newly formed collagen fibers and granulation tissue in the wound bed
- Collagen chemically binds to matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and absorbs components of wound exudate
- Provides a biodegradable matrix for cellular invasion and capillary development
- Acelity Promogran may be used under compression therapy with healthcare professional supervision
- Presence of silver prevents anti-microbial activity in the wound bed promoting quicker healing time
- This Composite Dressing can be pre-moistened to form a gel and molded to fit the wound, or it can be cut with sterile scissors to fit the wound shape
- Prisma dressing for wounds has known haemostatic properties
- Not necessary to remove any Promogran Prisma residue from the wound
- Ideal for all the areas of the body
- Can be worn for up to seven days depending on wound conditions
- Shape: Hexagon
- Sterile

How Does Prisma Wound Dressing Work?
Promogran Prisma Wound Dressing consists of a freeze-dried composite of collagen, silver-ORC and oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC).
Optimum Wound Environment:
Promogran Prisma Matrix transforms into a soft, conformable, biodegradable gel in the presence of exudate, allowing contact with all areas of the wound. A moist micro-environment is maintained at the wound surface, which is conducive to epithelialization, granulation tissue formation, and optimal wound healing.
Role Of Silver in Promogran Prisma Matrix:
Silver-ORC is said to be comprised of 25% w/w ionically bound silver, which is a well-known antimicrobial agent. Prisma dressing with silver provides an effective antimicrobial barrier that helps in reduction of bacterial development with common wound pathogens such as, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Eschericia coli, and Streptococcus pyogenes. Reduction of bacterial bioburden in the dressing may result in reduced risk of infection.

How To Apply Promogran Prisma Dressing?
Prisma Dressing Application
There are few prior promogran dressing application instructions that needs to be follow
- Used in combination with either a semi-occlusive or non-occlusive secondary dressing
- Prior to application in dry wounds saline solution should be used to hydrate Promogran Prisma
- Before application, necrotic tissue must first be removed by debridement
- Prepare the wound according to appropriate wound management protocol
Prisma Dressing Instructions For Use:
- For optimal effect, apply Promogran Prisma Matrix Wound Dressing directly to the whole wound bed.
- For a wound with low or no exudate apply Prisma Wound Dressing and hydrate with saline solution. This will initiate the transformation of the Promogran Prisma Matrix into a gel.
- After hydration, the Promogran Prisma gel will come in contact with the wound surface.
- The biodegradable Promogran Prisma Matrix gel is naturally absorbed into the body over time.
- In order to maintain a moist wound healing environment Promogran Prisma Dressing must be covered with a semi-occlusive dressing (e.g. Bioclusive Transparent Dressing, Tielle or Tielle Plus Hydropolymer Dressings) or a non-occlusive secondary dressing and fixed to the skin with a non-irritating tape.
- After initial application, reapply Prisma Collagen Dressing to the wound daily as per physician recommendation.
- It is not necessary to remove any residual of Prisma Dressing during dressing changes.

Precautions:
- Only when proper medical treatment addresses the underlying cause, the Promogran Prisma Dressing may be used when visible signs of infection are present in the wound
- Not intended to be a substitute for appropriate treatment of infection
- Healthcare professionals/clinicians should be aware of the fact that there is very limited data available on prolonged and repeated use of silver containing dressings, particularly in children and neonates
Storage Instructions:
- Promogran Prisma Matrix Wound Dressing should be stored away from direct light
- Over-exposure to light may cause some discoloration, however this does not affect the release of silver from the dressing
- Store below 25 degrees C / 77 degrees F
