Antimicrobial Wound Care Products Wound care products that offer the best line of defense against infection. Antimicrobial dressings provides a barrier between the wound (entry point for opportunistic pathogens), and the environment. This barrier functions two ways: i) protecting the wound from environmentally present pathogens and ii) preventing the spread of bacteria migrating from colonized dressings by suppressing growth in the dressing. A contaminated discharge might also spread through patient contact with caregivers, other patients, linens, etc. The emergence of resistant bacteria (i.e. MRSA, VRE…) and increasing awareness of the dangers associated with nosocomial infections makes antimicrobial dressing useful for only for patients but for caregivers and health facilities as a whole.
