Abstract:
New silver-containing dressings developed in recent years have brought new and powerful means for the prevention and treatment of wound infection, which promote development and progress of wound therapy. There are many kinds of silver-containing dressings, however, misunderstanding and even misapplication exist in how to choose and use these dressings. Based on literature evidence, we propose this national expert consensus on clinical application of silver-containing dressings, particularly in terms of kinds and mechanisms, indications, contraindications, rational selections in different wounds, and cautions in the clinical application of silver-containing dressings. This consensus would be helpful for medical and nursing personnels to use silver-containing dressings in wound repair field in clinic correctly and professionally.
