Cedarpath Medical Silver Alginate Dressing is an advanced wound care dressing available in Canada. A calcium alginate dressing that also contains ionic silver. It absorbs and gels exudate like a standard alginate while the silver provides sustained antimicrobial action in the dressing.
When is it used?
Used on moderately to heavily exuding wounds that are critically colonized, infected, or at high risk of infection.
Who is it for?
For infected or at-risk pressure injuries, leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers where both absorption and antimicrobial cover are needed.
Border vs non-border — what is the difference?
Non-adhesive — use with a secondary cover dressing or silicone tape.
What sizes are available?
Silver Alginate Dressing comes in 9 variants across 9 sizes — 50x50mm | 2"x2", 300x20mm | 12"x0.8", 300x25mm | 12"x1", 100x100mm | 4"x4", 110x110mm | 4.3"x4.3", 125x100mm | 5"x4", 200x100mm | 8"x4", 150x150mm | 6"x6", 200x200mm | 8"x8". Each variant has its own reference code (see the size and price table below); prices range $2.83–$18.23 CAD per piece.
Is it licensed by Health Canada?
Yes. Cedarpath Medical holds Health Canada Medical Device Establishment Licence (MDEL) #33769, and this dressing is a Health Canada–licensed Class II medical device under its own Medical Device Licence (MDL) #114645, so it can be lawfully sold and used in Canada.
How long can it stay on?
Usually changed every 1–3 days; wear time depends on exudate, infection status and clinical assessment.
How does it compare with a traditional dressing?
Versus a plain alginate it adds antimicrobial silver; versus a silver foam it packs cavities and handles heavier exudate rather than sitting flat on the surface.
