Silvasorb Dressings

SilvaSorb utilizes a proprietary formulation that combines silver with additional compounds that provide for a targeted release of antimicrobial silver for up to seven days without harming healthy tissue.
SilvaSorb Gel
AcryMed was the first company to have successfully incorporated the antimicrobial properties of ionic silver into an easy-to-apply topical gel. SilvaSorb Gel provides a quick and easy way to protect burns, cuts, scrapes and other wounds from infections. Applied immediately to scrapes and cuts, SilvaSorb Gel has been shown to be effective against MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant organisms.

SilvaSorb Site Dressing
SilvaSorb Site dressings provide up to a seven-day antimicrobial barrier and are specially designed for use around the percutaneous entry or insertion sites of indwelling lines (central lines, I.V. sets or protruding orthopedic appliances).

SilvaSorb Cavity Dressing
These specialized dressings are used for tunneling, undermined or heavily draining partial or full thickness wounds. The SilvaSorb Cavity dressings combine SilvaSorb Technology with MicroLattice in a filamented configuration to provide for a seven-day antimicrobial barrier to control heavy drainage or to fill wound cavities.SilvaSorb Wound Dressings
SilvaSorb dressings combine AcryMeds patented MicroLattice Technology with a stabilized, controlled-release formulation of infection-fighting ionic silver. Due to its unique ability to regulate moisture at the wound site, SilvaSorb dressings help to sustain an optimal healing environment while providing added broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection against infections.

Without the ability to effectively control moisture at the wound site, competing dressings quickly lose antimicrobial activity and can produce tissue staining, due to high concentrations of silver. SilvaSorb utilizes a proprietary formulation that combines silver with additional compounds that provide for a targeted release of antimicrobial silver for up to seven days without harming healthy tissue.
