The usage of ionic silver has been in practice for centuries in different forms. This material contains the properties of antimicrobial that is helpful to fight off infection. The silver icon is bioactive; it means that they can work as a living organism such as microbe. These microbes kill the bacteria and other viruses (though their effectiveness on germs and viruses in dispute currently in the community of scientists).
A century ago, it was common to use microbe. It was used before antibiotics advent. When the treatment relevant to antibiotic for infection started to develop, ionic silver fell out its effectiveness in the medical world. Presently, Aquacel Dressings are getting back great favor in the modern medical health field for three reasons:
- The first one is its broader antimicrobial properties as compared to other models. Everyone knows about antibiotics as they are effective only against bacteria. There are different treatments to target viruses and germs, most of these do not have enough power to attack viruses directly. Instead, they boost the immune system of the body. For these reasons, the doctor recommends such type of treatment. It is always better to use natural defense mechanism to fight viruses and germs again. By contrast, Aquacel ionic silver dressing acts directly on certain germs and eliminate them instantly. As far as the car of the wound is concerned, it incorporates into dressing directly. Aquacel Hydrofiber Dressing releases slowly into the wound so that it remains sterile and there is less risk of infection in the body.
- It is better to use topically. Different kinds of antibiotics should take to treat internally and eliminate the infection caused by bacteria. The scientific and medical community has recognized that the antibiotics usage has been increasing over the last few decades. It has resulted due to the emergence of superbugs; the bacteria developed to resist to antibiotics. The bacteria ability to multiply quickly means that the resistant germs become prolific. A new breed of bacteria having drug-resistant quality can be spread all through the population at light speed. The use of ionic silver dressing reduces the requirements for oral antibiotics and thus minimizes the change of superbugs’ development.
- It is safe and protective. Oral antibiotic drugs are taken to address an issue that has already been diagnosed. The usage of Aquacel Silver Hydrofiber Dressing presents the issue of bacteria multiplication instantly. Many medical professionals are of the view that it is healthy and better to prevent infection instantly rather than treating the infection developed already.
