Introducing SAM™ PainGuard™ with Lidocaine

Manage Infection Risk & Pain

The first and only wound care matrix to incorporate both broad spectrum antimicrobial silver PLUS lidocaine to manage both infection risk and pain.

Infected and painful wounds can have a major impact on patients — and your facility.

SAM™  PainGuard™ is our new line of products specifically designed to alleviate pain points by:

Protecting burns and wounds from infection risk before or after procedures

Initiating acute pain relief.

Simplifying topical analgesic dosing and application.

Reducing pain-related discharge delays.


How it Works

  • SAM™ Technology, a porous matrix of bioresorbable polymers, conforms to micro-textures of the wound4,8 and facilitates a moist and cytophilic wound-healing environment4,8 that allows for cells to attach, adhere, migrate, and proliferate.4†
  • With the added benefit of PainGuard™, the matrix delivers a unit-dose, uniform release of lidocaine HCl comparable to a 4% lidocaine ointment,17 providing accurate administration and preventing possible side effects from excessive dosages of uneven gels or ointments. 
  • >80% release of lidocaine HCl within 30 minutes17 provides acute pain relief across a wide range of wound types — and is especially beneficial following painful excisions and also procedures such as dressing changes and debridement.
