Prescription Indications
- Under the supervision of a healthcare professional, Silverlon® Island Dressings and Silverlon Cushion Dressings are used for vascular access or peripheral IV sites, orthopedic external needle sites, wound drainage sites, surgical wounds (donor and graft sites, incisions), and partial to full thickness dermal ulcers (stage I-IV pressure sores, venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers, diabetic ulcers).
- Silverlon Island Dressings and Silverlon Wound Pad Dressings are indicated for the treatment of infected wounds because the silver in the dressing provides an antimicrobial barrier that can aid in the treatment of these wounds. In addition, the moist wound healing environment and control of wound bacteria in Silverlon Island Dressing and Silverlon Wound Dressing can help reduce the risk of wound infection and support the body's healing process.
- Silverlon Island Dressings and Silverlon Dressings can be used to treat painful wounds, the non-adhesive wound contact layer of Silverlon Island Dressings and Silverlon Dressings reduces pain during dressing changes, and evaporation of moisture from the dressing can soothe the wound.
