Silvapro Antibacterial Burn Dressing
The antibacterial burn dressing that provides dual cooling and antibacterial protection in a single solution*. Indicated for the pre-hospital management of first and second degree burns.
Silvapro provides an effective barrier against contamination, while silver ions in the dressing directly destroy bacteria.1 On wetting with water, Silvapro creates a soft, cohesive gel that intimately conforms to the wound surface1. Fluid held in the gel provides a rapid cooling effect that helps relieve pain from burn wounds, and is sustained for four hours2-5. Silvapro also offers a high capacity for wound fluid absorption and effectively manages exudate1.
