Kerlix AMD Sponges redefine sterile wound management with medical-grade precision and FDA-cleared antimicrobial protection. Designed for clinicians treating high-risk infections, these povidone-iodine-coated sponges create a barrier against bacteria, fungi, and biofilm formation , critical for post-surgical wounds, diabetic ulcers, and trauma care.
Why Kerlix AMD Stands Out?
The unique woven construction combines high absorbency (up to 6x its weight) with low linting, preventing residue in deep wounds. Each sponge is x-ray detectable, ensuring safety during imaging, and AAMI Level 3 compliant for use in sterile fields. Unlike plain Kerlix gauze, the AMD variant sustains 7-day antimicrobial activity, reducing dressing change frequency and healthcare costs.
Clinical Applications
- Surgical Wounds: Prevents SSIs (surgical site infections) in abdominal, orthopedic, and burn surgeries.
- Chronic Care: Manages pressure ulcers and diabetic foot wounds with minimized reinfection rates.
- Emergency Use: Trauma-ready packaging for quick deployment in ERs and ambulances.
- Veterinary Use: Safe for animal wound care (tested on equine and canine patients).
User-Centric Design
- Tear-resistant edges for clean wound packing without fraying.
- Pre-cut sizes (4.5″ x 4.1 yards) fit deep cavities and surface wounds.
- Bulk sterile packaging (10 sponges/box) for high-volume needs.
Trusted by Healthcare Providers
Hospitals and ASCs rely on Kerlix AMD for its proven efficacy against MRSA, E. coli, and Candida albicans , backed by peer-reviewed studies. Compatible with most wound cleansers and negative pressure therapy, it’s the versatile choice for infection-prone cases.
