RTD® Wound Dressing

New (3 in 1) ingredient antimicrobial foam dressing for infected wet wound.

What is RTD™ Wound Dressing?

RTD™ is a proprietary highly absorbent antimicrobial foam with Methylene Blue (0.25 mg/g), Gentian Violet (0.25 mg/g) and Silver Ion (7 mg/g) integrated into the polymer matrix.

Indications for Use:

RTD™ Wound Dressing is indicated for the treatment of partial to full thickness wounds with moderate to heavy exudate, including (sacral) pressure ulcers, venous stasis and arterial ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, graft wounds and donor sites, surgical/post-operative wounds, 1st and 2nd degree burns, lacerations and abrasions and any other wound inflicted by trauma.

RTD™ Features and Benefits

  • Analgesic; significant pain reduction reported
  • Non-cytotoxic; use throughout the continuum of care
  • Cost effective; reduces healing time; use up to 3 days
Proprietary technology: Active ingredients are integrated into foam matrix
  • Open cell structure; wicks exudate vertically
  • Absorbs 1,110 mg/cm²;
  • Holds 15 x its weight in exudate. A 4 x 4 x ¼ dressing holds 115 ml²
  • Active ingredients are tightly bound to the foam
  • Regulates wound bed moisture; little to no maceration
Polyurethane foam is soft pliable and surface conforming:
  • Easy to use. Ready to apply.
  • Does not require hydration prior to use

  • Versatile; can be used for multiple wound types

RTD™ Mechanism of Action

Methylene Blue
  • Strong affinity for dead cells not viable cells
  • Strong Cation: draws negatively charged bacteria
  • Pulls the protein rich exudate (bacteria and dead tissue) into the dressing
Gentian Violet
  • Attacks gram(-) and gram(+) bacteria
  • Antibacterial and Antifungal
  • Analgesic
Silver Ion
  • Silver ions (Ag+) are released in the presence of exudate
  • Amount of Silver ions released are proportionate to the amount of exudate
  • Silver ion (Ag+) binds to bacterial cells
  • Penetrates and kills gram (-) and gram (+) bacteria
