Burn-wound Dressing

The Westaim Corporationessings provide fast and broad-spectrum fungicidal action. The dressings keep the wound moist and free from microbes such as bacteria and fungi. They also require fewer dressing changes than conventional burn treatments, and therefore reduce the number of times the wound is exposed to airborne pathogens such as fungi.

Layered with nanocrystalline silver, the dressings ensure a sustained release of silver, which has long been recognized for its antibacterial and antifungal properties. As silver ions are consumed, additional silver is released. The dressing can be used on graft and donor sites, chronic wounds (including pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, etc.), and surgical wounds.
