Silverlon Antimicrobial Silver Wound Packing Strip — High Potency, 1" x 12"

The ultimate defense for deep, infected, or tunneling wounds. Silverlon Antimicrobial Wound Packing Strips are professional-grade dressings designed to deliver a massive reservoir of silver ions directly into a wound's hardest-to-reach areas. Unlike traditional silver dressings, Silverlon features a unique silver-plated nylon construction that provides more metallic silver than almost any other dressing on the market. This 1" x 12" strip is perfectly sized for packing surgical sites, deep cavity wounds, and narrow tunnels where infection control is critical.

✔ Maximum Silver Delivery – High concentration of silver ions for rapid bacterial kill    ✔ Non-Gelling Design – High-strength nylon remains intact for easy removal    ✔ Versatile Packing – 1" width is ideal for narrow tunnels and tracks    ✔ Fast Acting – Begins killing bacteria immediately upon contact with moisture

The Silverlon Difference: Why It’s Not Just Another Silver Dressing

Most "silver" dressings use a small amount of silver powder or coating within an alginate or foam. Silverlon is different. It uses a proprietary process that permanently plates the entire surface of the nylon fibers with pure metallic silver. This creates a massive surface area of silver, allowing it to stay active longer and work faster than many competitors.

• Highest Silver Content: Provides a "silver reservoir" that continues to release ions even in the presence of heavy bioburden.
• Stays Intact: Because it is made of plated nylon, it will not fall apart, shred, or leave fibers behind in a deep tunnel like cotton or alginate strips can.
• Broad Spectrum Kill: Proven effective against MRSA, VRE, and a wide range of common wound pathogens.
• Easy to Use: Simply moisten with sterile water to "activate" the silver ions and pack loosely into the wound bed.
• Cost-Effective: High-potency silver means fewer dressing changes are often required to manage the wound's bioburden.

How to Apply Silverlon Packing Strips

1. Cleanse the wound according to standard clinical protocol.
2. Moisten the Silverlon strip with sterile water (do not use saline, as it can interfere with silver ion release).
3. Pack the strip loosely into the tunnel or cavity, leaving a small "tail" outside the wound for easy retrieval.
4. Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing (gauze or foam) to maintain a moist environment.
