Silverlon Burn Contact Dressing

Silverlon® Burn Contact Dressings are broad spectrum 7 day use antimicrobial barrier dressings. 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.

Silverlon® Burn Contact Dressings are composed of knitted fabrics that are flexible, minimally adhering, and antimicrobial. The knitted fabric is composed of pure nylon base fibers, 100% covered, uniformly and circumferentially with a thin coat of pure metallic silver approximately (4/100,000 inch). The circumferential platting of the fibers results in a three-dimensional surface area of pure metallic silver in contact with the wound fluids. Analysis of the surface of Silverlon® reveals 99.1% pure metallic silver and 0.9% silver oxide. The open knit pattern of the fabric permits passage of oxygen and fluids to and from the wound surface. The silver provides the effective antimicrobial action of the dressing and functions as an antimicrobial barrier.
