Silverlon® Island Wound Dressing and Silverlon® Wound Pad Dressing are multi-layer, sterile, non-adherent, antimicrobial barrier wound dressings.
The Over-The-Counter Indications:
Local management of superficial wounds, minor burns, abrasions and lacerations.
Prescription Indications:
Under the supervision of a healthcare professional Silverlon® Island Wound Dressings and Silverlon® Wound Pad Dressings are intended for up to 7 day use for wounds such as vascular access or peripheral IV sites, orthopedic external pin sites, wound drain 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 Wound Dressings and Silverlon® Wound Pad Dressings are indicated for the management of infected wounds, as the silver in the dressing provides an antimicrobial barrier that may be helpful in managing these wounds. In addition, the moist wound healing environment and control of wound bacteria within the Silverlon® Island Wound Dressing and Silverlon® Wound Pad Dressing may help reduce the risk of wound infection and support the body's healing process.
Silverlon® Island Wound Dressings and Silverlon® Wound Pad Dressings may be used for the management of painful wounds, Silverlon® Island Wound Dressings and Silverlon® Wound Pad Dressing’s non-adherent wound contact layer reduces pain during dressing changes and evaporation of moisture in the dressing may soothe the wound.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
