SilvaSorb Antimicrobial Wound Gel 1.5 oz tube

SilvaSorb Antimicrobial Wound Gel (1.5 oz tube) by Medline Industries is a silver-impregnated hydrogel wound dressing designed to provide moist wound healing while also helping to manage bacterial contamination in wounds.

What is SilvaSorb Antimicrobial Wound Gel?

SilvaSorb is a clear, amorphous hydrogel that contains ionic silver as an antimicrobial agent. This gel is applied directly to wounds to maintain moisture, promote healing, and reduce the risk of infection.

Key Features

• Antimicrobial Protection: Contains ionic silver, which continuously releases silver ions for up to three days to fight a broad spectrum of bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant strains.
• Moist Wound Environment: Maintains moisture necessary for autolytic debridement and optimal wound healing.
• Long-Lasting: Provides up to three days of antimicrobial activity per application.
• Non-Staining: The hydrogel is clear and will not stain skin or wound tissue.
• Easy Application: Amorphous gel conforms to wound shapes, making it especially helpful for irregular or deep wounds.
• Non-Cytotoxic: Safe for use on healthy tissue and will not harm new cells.
