Slow Release Silver Provides An Antibacterial Effect That Lasts 7 Days
MD DME Extra Silver Alginate Dressing is a sterile, single-use antimicrobial dressing. It's
composed of calcium alginate and silver particles, which absorb wound exudate and
release silver ions in the presence of wound fluid. As wound exudate is absorbed, the
alginate forms a gel, which assists in maintaining a moist environment for optimal wound
healing and allows intact removal. Silver ions have a board spectrum antibacterial effect on
Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, MRSA, VRE, and other common bacteria. The silver protects the dressing from a broad spectrum of bacteria over 7 days, with an
antibacterial rate of 99.99%
Antibacterial Effectiveness Test
Experimental results show that Extra Silver Alginate Dressing is
effective against taphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis,
Streptococcus pyogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Escherichia
coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, MRSA, VRE, with an antibacterial
rate of up to 99.99%
Silver lon Release Per Day
The sample A is our Extra Silver Alginate Dressing. The curves
in Fig1 show that silver ions are continuously released in 7 days,
and that the dose is sufficient to maintain the optimal
antibacterial effect. And the statistics in Fig2 show that the
silver cumulative release amount of Extra Silver Alginate
Dressing is far below 3800mg which is the toxic dose of
Silver Cumulative Release Amount
silver for human in a number of clinical and academic studies
For single use or multiple use, the release of silver ion is much
lower than the toxic dose of silver. Extra Silver Alginate Dressing
is a safe and effective dressing. It has a good antibacterial
effect with a small dose of silver.
