Wound care dressings are vital and must be regularly updated and upgraded in any medical facility. When we talk about advanced wound care dressing, we have silver dressings with us. These are up-to-date wound care dressings intended to manage the bioburden in chronic wounds. They are fast healing and effective due to the silver in the wound dressings.
Where you should use Silver Dressings?
Silver dressings are recommended for all types of acute and chronic wounds. They are perfect for wounds with a high level of bioburden or local infection. Silver dressings have been found useful and practical for wounds presenting localized spreading or systemic infection.
Further, silver dressings play a vital role in:
• Reducing bioburden in infected or colonized wounds, and
• Acting as an antimicrobial barrier for wounds at high risk of infection or re-infection.
It is also recommended that we combine the use of silver dressing along with other standard wound care protocols such as a holistic assessment of the patient and wound management of underlying comorbidities and proper wound bed preparation.
If you are using silver dressing on critical wounds and see how it works on your patient. You can easily switch to less effective dressings once the wound starts healing. Our body has the capacity to heal itself and so our immune helps the dressings to work. For more information about silver dressings or any other kinds of wound care dressings, you can reach out to us. We will be glad to assist you.
