Why choose Medline Silver Wound Gel?
MicroLattice – Controls The Release of Silver:
SilvaSorb gel is composed of a synthetic, polyacrylate hydrophilic matrix that contributes to its flexibility, elasticity, and absorbency. The unique architecture of SilvaSorb begins with its MicroLattice matrix — the basic structure that allows moisture to be absorbed and the ionic silver to be released.
Its unique stabilized silver is suspended as minute particles throughout the molecular scaffolding of MicroLattice for even distribution of ionic silver.
Exposure to wound moisture dissolves the silver reservoir and stimulates the release of silver ions into the wound. The amount of silver released is controlled by a mechanism that not only regulates the release of silver but also prevents staining and discoloration by protecting the silver ions from light energy. As more fluid is absorbed over time, more silver ions are released, creating a controlled-release antimicrobial effect.
In many ways, MicroLattice acts like the skin:
- It is biocompatible
- It provides a barrier against infection
- It offers moisture management
- It is comfortable
