Functional description
The Silverlon® Lifesaver® IV / Catheter Dressing is a multilayer absorbent dressing incorporating pure elemental silver particles immobilised within a nylon web structure. This design ensures that the silver particles remain securely contained within the dressing and cannot come into direct contact with, penetrate, or be absorbed by the wound bed or exposed mucosal tissue. The antimicrobial activity of the dressing is achieved through the sustained release of silver ions
