The Silverlon® Burn Contact Dressing is a broad-spectrum, 7-day-use antimicrobial barrier dressing. The surface of the nylon-based dressing is plated with pure metallic silver, which is the source of the antimicrobial silver ion. The silver ions disassociate from the surface of the dressing in the presence of moisture. Silver ion release rates are maintained by maintaining the moisture content of the burn and wound dressing.
Benefits and Features
Guidelines for Use: All Silverlon Wound and Burn Dressings are designed for up to 7-day use. Where protocols dictate more frequent wound inspection, the dressings may be taken down daily and Silverlon reapplied by rinsing the surface of the dressing with sterile water to remove excess exudate and cellular debris. Cover the Silverlon burn dressing with a secondary dressing of choice. Avoid use of petroleum-based ointments or creams under the Silverlon dressing.
