Silverlon® Silver

Negative Pressure Dressings

"In the presence of moisture, this unique product continuously emits a very high level of ionic silver into the wound bed. By combining the benefits of negative pressure wound management and silver plated nylon fabric, this process is an unprecedented step for wound care, providing faster wound closure, decreased pain and infections, and a reduction in overall treatment costs." Frost & Sullivan

The Silverlon® Negative Pressure Silver Dressing is the safest, fastest acting and longest lasting antimicrobial silver dressing on the market incorporating the highest ionic silver release rates measured. Continual and sustained delivery of silver ions are being released directly to soft tissue, during the course of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT), without depositing metallic silver or foam into the wound bed.

The Award Winning Silverlon® Negative Pressure Silver Dressing provides 24–7 antimicrobial coverage; no infections have been reported, at 5 to 7 day use with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy systems. Data from several large clinical case studies have shown our extended wear times without infections.

• The Award Winning Silverlon® NPD delivers the highest and longest sustained rate of ion release of any Silver Dressings that are used with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Systems.



• Longer wear times between dressing changes (5 to 7 days) which saves on Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) kit costs as well as skilled nursing time and visits (SNV).



• Unsupported clinical case studies show an accelerated wound healing potential when used in combination with NPWT systems vs. NPWT alone, which has shown to reduce the number of treatment days, nursing time and rental costs. A recent 80 patient study showed that the Silverlon® Negative Pressure Silver Dressing used with a Negative Pressure Wound Therapy group had a 37.5% higher healing rate than the Negative Pressure Wound Therapy group alone.



• Studies have also shown a decrease in pain not only during the course of therapy but also upon the removal of the dressings. The Silverlon® NPD also functions as a wound contact layer, minimizing the need for any additional non-adherent dressings. The Silverlon® Negative Pressure Dressing is applied in direct contact with the wound’s surface.



• Silverlon® can be used over STSG or L.S.E. for up to 7 day use and no “sticking” was observed in a recent 100 patient clinical case study.
