Silverlon® Surgical Care Products provide the safest and strongest multi-day
Antimicrobial Protection in uniquely flexible and comfortable dressings. In a pilot study, Silverlon® reduced post-op infection 50% and hospital length of stay by 25%. In addition, via incentive Spirometry and SAO2 testing, Silverlon® was shown to reduce post-op pain. Available in a variety of sizes, Silverlon® is typically applied in the OR and then changed at patient discharge. The discharge dressing is designed to be in place for 7–10 days and can be removed at re-examination. All of the Silverlon® Surgical Care Dressings listed below have FDA Clearance.
