Testimonial - US Army Ranger wounded in the Iraq War
Hi Gary,
First of all, I want to thank you so much for helping me out with being able to get supplies. Silverlon has helped me out immensely in my healing.
As I explained over the phone, I was burned in over 84% of my body. While I was in the ICU at Brook Army Medical Center, I don't remember much, but I do remember being wrapped with the Silverlon roll around my legs, arms and my torso. With 84% of lost skin, you definitely have to be careful with what you use to heal open wounds. While I was in the hospital, the doctors have used all kinds of products to see what works the best in healing wounds quickly and efficiently. Also as I mentioned, in addition to Silverlon, I have also used Xeroform, SilverCel (at the Miami VA) and a number of other products. With the Xeroform and the SilverCel, I noticed that even after only 24 hours of use, there would be an unpleasant odor coming from the wound site. Obviously a sign of bacteria and possibly infection. With Silverlon, Ive never had that problem.
One of the best things about Silverlon is that you can use the same sheet of product of up to a week. And not once during that time have I ever noticed any smell whatsoever and the healing has been VERY quick. In fact, about a year ago, my right ankle was completely exposed with no skin whatsoever. I had been using Xeroform for about 8 months on that site and there was no healing apparent. I asked my doctor at Brooke Army Medical Center to let me use Silverlon instead. Within 2 months my ankle closed up to having only 3 exposed areas where two were about the size of a quarter and one was the size of a nickel. I was very impressed. In 2 months of using Silverlon, I had more progress than I did in 8 months of Xeroform.
And again, thank you for helping me out with getting supplies. I will be writing a letter to Mr. Gregg Silver informing him of how helpful youve been as well as thanking him for providing such a great product to all of us that have been injured in the war. Thank you so much.
Staff Sergeant V. Dominguez
