Stasis (Venous) Ulcers, Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU), Pressure Ulcers (Bed Sores), Post Surgical Ulcers, 1st & 2nd-degree Burns, Cuts, Abrasions & Minor Skin Irritations.
The unique combination of SilverStream’s ingredients and their non-toxic, non-cytotoxic properties, stimulate the growth of granulation tissue. SilverStream prevents maceration and facilitates the absorption and reduction of exudates while keeping the wound moist for longer periods (due to the hydrogel property) thus accelerating the wound healing process.
During the development of SilverStream, we discovered that there is a synergic effect between the silver ions and menthol, which enhances the penetration of silver ions through the bacteria cell wall into the bacteria. This enabled us to ensure that the concentration of silver ions remains below the toxic and cytotoxic levels.
The presence of a high concentration of hygroscopic glycerol gives SilverStream its hydrogel properties due to the reduction of water activity by the glycerol, preventing the growth of micro-organisms. These hydrogel properties also help SilverStream to keep the wound moist for a longer time.
1. Provides Continuous Debridement, Reduces Inflammation, Promotes Blood Circulation, & Stimulates Tissue Granulation.
2. Promotes & Balances Moisture, Penetrates Deeper into the Wound Surface, Facilitates the Absorption & Reduction of Exudates, Prevents Maceration.
3. Destroys Biofilm, Prevents Re-Infection; No Bacterial Resistance, Inhibits the Growth of Bacteria, Yeast, and Fungi.
4. Soothing Effect during the Treatment, Reduces Pain & Eliminates Odor, Improves Look & Appearance of Skin.
5. Non toxic, Non cytotoxic, No Argyria, No Coloring & No Staining.
6. Contains no Steroids or Antibiotics.
7. Contains no Alcohol or Iodine.
8. Won’t harm healthy tissue.
As long as the daily use (within 24 hours) is restricted to 700mL of SilverStream solution, treatment may be continued without any time limitation.
The age or the condition of the wound does not limit the use of SilverStream treatment for the approved indications. Our clinical experience illustrates that stagnant and tenacious wounds have been successfully treated with SilverStream until complete healing was achieved.
No. In fact, most patients found the effect of SilverStream soothing. The patient may initially feel a stinging sensation – but that will dissipate in a short time followed by a slight cooling sensation (due to the presence of menthol) that contributes to the overall soothing effect.
No. Due to the lower concentration of active Silver Ions, no damage is caused to the surrounding normal skin. Also, no pigmentation or darkening of the skin has been observed.
No. The SilverStream solution is applied directly onto the wound while the syringe is kept ~1-2 cm away.
SilverStream should be used by itself as a stand-alone solution. The wound can be washed with water or soapy water prior to the application. The use of any other solutions in combination with SilverStream might reduce its efficacy.
The hypertonic property of the solution prevents maceration and facilitates the mechanical removal of exudates and micro-organisms.
Debridement in any form is symbiotic to use of SilverStream and hence, surgical removal/ debridement of necrotic tissue is beneficial as co-therapy with SilverStream.
During both case studies and clinical use worldwide, the elimination of infection and wound healing are evaluated by the wound color, odor, texture, tissue redness, formation of granulation tissues, etc.
59% wound size reduction in wounds measuring between 1-15 cm2, within just 4 weeks (a superior result in comparison with Sheehan Criteria)
As many as needed during the course of treatment, within 28 days after the first puncture.
Yes. SilverStream can be used effectively as the irrigant for either continuous or intermittent NPWT, using 500mL bottles with septum closure.
Glycerol and menthol contribute to the pain relief effect of SilverStream, as well as accelerated Wound Healing induced by the solution.
