It is an active agent or antimicrobial against a broad spectrum of bacteria and other harmful microorganisms. It is also an agent for anti-inflammation. Ag is useful in wound coverings because of its ability to fight infections and reduce inflammation. Silver Wound Dressing applications include films, foams, gels, creams, knitted polyester, and cellulose fibers. The use of Silver to treat wounds is effective for up to two to three weeks. It promotes a moist environment that supports healing. Treatment applications combined with alginates (Silver Alginate Dressings), charcoal, hydrocolloids, hydrogels, and composites bring additional benefits to healing.
