Silverlon® Pad Dressings
By: Care Medical

Silverlon® Wound Contact Dressings are designed for placement directly on the wound surface in direct contact with the injured tissues. The Silverlon® Wound Contact Dressing provides a topical antimicrobial surface that reduces the bacteria and fungi counts on the wound surface and within 2 to 4 millimeters of the wound surface. The wound dressing can be left in place for several days depending on the amount of wound drainage and necrotic (dead) tissue present. The dressing also provides a highly conductive surface that reestablishes the normal skin electrical potentials. The Silverlon® Wound Contact Dressing provides an antimicrobial barrier to the entry of Fungi and Bacteria including MRSA Bacteria and Acinetobacter Bacteria, thereby protecting the wound from outside bacteria and fungi contamination. A special modification of a Silverlon® Wound Contact Dressing, called the Silverlon® peripad, will be applied to an external feminine napkin (peripad) for lesions of the perineal region and for application after childbirth.
