Clinical Study performed by: Stanley Carson, M.D. et. al., Fountain Valley Regional Hospital, Fountain Valley, California

Dr. Carson's Conclusions: "It is obvious from observing the progression of healing of these two wounds that there was an accelerated wound healing potential when Silverlon® NPD was used in conjunction with the VAC® as compared to the VAC® treatment alone. Furthermore, it is my opinion that Silverlon® enhances the promotion of granulation tissue when used with negative pressure wound therapy."

about this product.

"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® NPD Advantage:
  • 7 day use over skin grafts while under negative pressure therapy systems
    (1 dressing kit for 1 week of therapy)
  • Fewer dressing changes over the course of therapy
  • Produces an accelerated wound healing potential
  • No infections reported
  • Provides medical and economical advantages
  • Minimal reduction in fluid flow capacity as compared to VAC foam alone

Silverlon® Negative Pressure Wound Dressings are applied for improved outcomes with the Versatile 1™ or other Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) Systems when treating chronic and acute wounds, burns, and surgical procedures.
