Silver Antimicrobial Dressings

Silver antimicrobial dressings are advanced wound coverings that incorporate silver particles to fight infection. Silver releases ions that kill bacteria, fungi, and some viruses, helping reduce the risk of infection and promote healing. These dressings are typically used for moderate to heavily contaminated or infected wounds, or when infection risk is high. They provide a moist environment, which is beneficial for healing, while preventing new infections. Silver dressings are available in various forms such as gels, sheets, or contact layers, and are applied by healthcare professionals to support faster recovery and reduce complications.
