SilvaSorb harnesses the power of ionic silver,
releasing silver at a controlled level for broad spectrum antimicrobial action,
without harming tissue cells. The ionic silver is suspended in the SilvaSorb
dressing to control its release over a period of up to seven days. It offers
antimicrobial protection over a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi, including
MRSA and VRE. SilvaSorb kills microbes, but is completely biocompatible with the
tissue cells of healing.
In addition to controlling bioburden, another key
factor in wound healing is managing moisture level. SilvaSorb dressings are made
of special polymer that absorbs more than five times its weight in fluid. That's
not only more that all other silver dressings, it's several times more than
calcium alginates or similar absorptive products. This allows SilvaSorb to be
left in place for longer periods of time compared to other wound dressings, even
on heavily draining wounds. If the wound is dry, SilvaSorb can help. The
dressings are 20% water, giving then the unique ability to donate moisture when
needed. Advanced fluid management helps provide a moist wound healing
environment for the full spectrum of wounds. SilvaSorb will not dry out a wound
and it will not macerate the surrounding skin.
