More power to protect, prevent and heal

Infection. An attack against the system.What if you could cut the rate of infection across your entire spectrum of care? And keep manageable incisions or wounds from developing into something far worse? What if you had a simple way to help prevent complications like hospital-associated infections (HAIs)? Surgical site infections? Even never events?

We work as hard as you do to prevent infection.Cardinal Health™ AMD antimicrobial dressings with PHMB empower you to protect your work and your patients’ skin health, by providing simple, a�ordable antimicrobial prevention for more patients who need it. Arresting bacterial action is the best way to prevent infection.

More patients at riskThe burden on wound clinicians to protect skin integrity is growing rapidly due to increasing health care costs, an aging population, and a sharp rise in the incidence of diabetes and obesity nationwide.1

An everyday occurrence1 in 31 hospital patients have at least one HAI onany given day.2

Impacting the bottom lineHAIs are non-reimbursable expenses.3 Per 2008CMS mandate.

Discover the power of PHMB.A highly potent, yet safe antiseptic, PHMB (polyhexamethylene biguanide) has been used commercially for over 75 years. Products in the Cardinal Health™ AMD portfolio are impregnated with PHMB. They act as a barrier against bacteria, resisting bacterial colonization and reducing bacterial penetration within the dressing.

Proven e�ective against a broad spectrum of bacteria.4Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE)Acinetobacter baumanniiStaphylococcus epidermidisPseudomonas aeruginosaEscherichia coliCandida albicansCoagulase-negative StaphylococcusProteus mirabilisSerratia marcescensEnterobacter cloacaeKlebsiella pneumoniaeEnterococcus faecalisPropionibacterium acnes

PHMB is hard on bacteria. Easy on skin.Stand strong against infection—as PHMB targets and kills a broad spectrum of bacteria, with no known bacterial resistance. And stay gentle on skin—without impacting epithelization.

Consider these patients who may be at higher risk of infection:

• Suppressed immune systems

• Diabetes

• Pressure Injuries

• Nutritional insu�ciencies

• Bariatric issues

• Incontinence

• Delicate skin

• Prolonged in�ammation

• Excessive moisture

• Vascular disease

• Lymphedema

• Chronic respiratory disease

Give more patientsthe prevention they need.From surgical patients to people with diabetes to the elderly, for CABG and orthopedic surgeries, caesarean sections, and heel or foot ulcers.

Broad protection.Fewer infections.Safe and a�ordable, PHMB makes it possible to be more proactive in the �ght against infection. Putting that “ounce of prevention” within everybody’s reach—from surgical patients to people with diabetes to the elderly. Across the spectrum of care.

Kerlix™ AMD rolls can help manage the delicate, moist environment of skin folds and prevent infection.

Tunneling woundsAMD antimicrobial dressings help protect against infection.4

Curity™ AMD packing strips are a �ne mesh gauze great for wet-to-dry packing of tunneling wounds.

Cardinal Health™ AMD dressings with PHMB have been clinically shown to:

• Reduce surgical site infection rates (SSIs)• Help protect non-intact skin5• Reduce SSI and wound-related infection treatment costs• Lower pain scores

AMD Foam dressings help provide a healing environment by simultaneously managing moisture and

bacteria in the dressing.
