The alginate dressing consisting of calcium alginate and silver particles, which absorb wound exudate and release silver ions in the presence of wound liquid. The silver can protect the dressing from a variety of bacteria within 7 days, with an antibacterial rate of 99.99%. And alginate forms a gel after absorbing wound exudate to maintain the moist environment on the wound surface.

Application of Silver Wound Dressing

Why is Silver Used in Wound Dressings

The role of silver ion wound dressing:

Silver ions almost have an effect on all common bacteria, so the antibacterial spectrum is wide, antibacterial performance is very good.

Sterilization principle of silver ion wound dressing:

Mainly depends on its positive charge and heavy metal characteristics, through the combination of bacteria with negative charge containing sulfhydryl proteins, denaturation of the latter, deactivation, play a role.

3 advantages of silver ion wound dressing:

1. Shorten the healing time of patients;

2. Reduce the time for patients to change dressing back and forth, and avoid the inconvenience of family members and patients;

3. sterilization ability is very strong, no harm to people and animals.
