  • Title: Silver dressings in clinical practice.
    Author: Driver VR.
    Journal: Ostomy Wound Manage; 2004 Sep; 50(9A Suppl):11S-15S. PubMed ID: 15499163.
    Abstract:
    Silver is among several topical antiseptics that are once again gaining popularity due, in part, to the rise of antibiotic-resistant genotypes. Because of differences in wounds and the variety of products--including various silver vehicles--available to treat them, all of the dressing characteristics appropriate for the specific wound being managed must be considered. This article addresses why silver is (and is not) a good choice for particular wounds and offers suggestions about what silver products best serve individual situations.
