Frequently asked questions
Does this gel effectively prevent bacterial growth?
Yes. SilvaSorb is infused with silver, which provides an active antimicrobial barrier. This helps protect your wound from bacterial colonization while you heal.
Will this gel sting or irritate sensitive skin?
No, the formula is specifically designed to be non-stinging and gentle, making it a patient-friendly choice for treating both acute and chronic wounds.
Does this product help keep wounds moist?
Absolutely. The amorphous gel is engineered to donate moisture to the wound bed, which is vital for maintaining an optimal healing environment and supporting autolytic debridement.
How often should I change the dressing?
SilvaSorb is designed for convenience; it can be left in place for up to 3 days, which helps reduce the overall frequency of dressing changes.
Will this gel leave stains on my skin?
No. The formula is completely non-staining, ensuring it remains discreet and clean during the entire course of your treatment.
Can I use this on different types of wounds?
Yes, this gel is highly versatile. It is suitable for a wide range of indications, including:
- Pressure ulcers
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Surgical wounds
- First- and second-degree burns
- Skin tears and abrasions
Is a secondary dressing required for this gel?
Yes, for best results, SilvaSorb should be used in conjunction with an appropriate secondary dressing. This helps seal in the moisture and keeps the gel protected at the wound site.

Is this product suitable for deep wounds?
Yes, it is indicated for the management of both partial-thickness and full-thickness wounds that are lightly draining.
