Tritec Silver Dressings

Tritec Silver is an antimicrobial contact-layer dressing from Milliken & Company, built around a durable microknit fabric that pairs silver's broad-spectrum antimicrobial action with a construction that holds up in the wound bed. Clinicians reach for it when they need sustained antimicrobial protection without the fragility of gauze or the trauma of a dressing that adheres to healing tissue.

What sets these dressings apart is the microknit fabric itself. It resists shredding and shedding fibers into the wound, so removal stays clean and atraumatic — an important detail for chronic and heavily colonized wounds where every dressing change matters. The non-adhesive, borderless design means Tritec Silver sits directly against the wound as a contact layer, letting you choose the secondary dressing and securement that fit the situation, whether that's a foam, superabsorbent, or simple retention wrap.

Every product in this collection ships sterile and comes in two practical footprints. The 4 x 5 inch rectangle (ref. 3000005137) suits smaller or irregular wounds and areas where you want to trim to fit, while the 6 x 6 inch square (ref. 3000004573) covers larger surgical sites, pressure injuries, and heavily draining wounds. Both are white microknit and free of adhesive borders.

Buyers commonly ask how long Tritec Silver stays in place: because it's a contact layer, wear time is dictated by exudate levels and the secondary dressing, but silver technologies of this type are generally designed for multi-day wear, reducing the frequency of changes and disturbance to the wound. It's well suited to venous ulcers, diabetic foot wounds, pressure injuries, and infected or at-risk surgical wounds.

If you're comparing silver options, you may also want to look at Silver-Sept antimicrobial products and other Selan Silver skin and wound solutions to build a complete protocol.
