Antimicrobial efficacy of a novel silver hydrogel dressing compared to two common silver burn wound dressings: Acticoat™ and PolyMem Silver

Published: Feb 1, 2014
Abstract
A novel burn wound hydrogel dressing has been previously developed which is composed of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid sodium salt with silver nanoparticles. This study compared the antimicrobial efficacy of this novel dressing to two commercially available silver dressings; Acticoat™ and PolyMem Silver(®). Three different antimicrobial tests were used: disc diffusion, broth culture, and the Live/Dead(®) Baclight™ bacterial viability...
