How to use Argentum Silverlon Wound Pad Dressing?

• Cleanse wound with sterile, distilled, or normal saline, removing necrotic debris or eschar as needed per local protocol.
• Select the dressing pad size that overlaps the wound margins 1-2 cm.
• Activate Silverlon Wound Pad by thoroughly moistening it with sterile water, distilled water, or normal saline.
• Position Silverlon Wound Pad so that the pad is directly over the wound and the silver side of the dressing is in contact with the skin.
• Secure with outer dressing per local protocol.
• For exudating wounds, use an outer absorbent dressing. For dry wounds, use a moisture-donating outer dressing such as hydrocolloid or pre-moistened foam or gauze.
• Periodically check the edges of the Silverlon dressing to ensure that correct moisture levels are maintained.
• Silverlon Wound Pad may be used for 7 days but may require more frequent changing depending on wound condition and exudate build-up.
• To remove Silverlon Wound Pad Dressings, remove outer dressing per the local protocol and gently depress surrounding skin while lifting pad dressing edges.
  • If the dressing is sticking to the wound, moisten the dressing with sterile water, distilled water, or normal saline as needed until it can be easily removed by gently lifting the corners.
