Jackie Stephen-Haynes et al. Br J Community Nurs. 2007 Mar.

Abstract

The appropriate selection of anti-microbial dressings has become an increasing challenge within clinical practice with an increasing array of dressing availability. A major area of growth has been in dressings containing silver. This article will discuss the rationale for use of silver dressings in the context of wound bed preparation, and offers guidance on their selection and appropriate use.
