AMS receives CE mark for Silicone PHMB Foam Dressing

Advanced Medical Solutions (AMS), a surgical and advanced wound care specialist company, has received CE mark approval for its Silicone PHMB Foam Dressing, which sits alongside the US approval for this product.

The product will be commercialised via AMS’s network of wound care partners and distributors in CE mark approved markets.

The PHMB Foam Dressing is a polyurethane foam impregnated with Polyhexamethylene Biguanide along with an atraumatic perforated silicone wound contact layer. The dressing is indicated for use in the management of various wounds including pressure sores, diabetic ulcers, post-op surgical wounds and burns. The product can manage wound exudate as well as microbial contamination and the atraumatic silicone layer reduces wound pain during wound healing and dressing changes. The PHMB Foam Dressing has been shown to be effective against MRSA and a broad spectrum of microbes, with in vitro testing demonstrating total eradication of MRSA, MRSE, and E. coli within 24 hours.

Chris Meredith, chief executive officer of Advanced Medical Solutions, said: “This new product approval in Europe for Silicone PHMB Foam Dressing further strengthens AMS’s advanced wound care portfolio in Europe and reinforces the fact that our R&D and regulatory capabilities are a key pillar of our organic growth strategy.”
