Atrauman AG Silver 5 x 5cm (x10)

Amazing product.Really helped with the healing process. Good price.

Due to an insect bite and a compromised immune system through chronic illness, I have had a leg ulcer for 4 months, that just would not heal. The Tissue Viability team at my local hospital tried all sorts of things to help my leg heal, including 3 rounds of strong antibiotics and applying thicker silver gauze of lesser quality. But when I came across Atrauman's AG Silver and started applying it to my wound, together with a non-adhesive wound pad and a compression stocking - the thin silver mesh was just the thing my ulcer needed.The mesh allowed my wound to breath and weep/exude as needed, without sticking too much to the healing skin, but allowing it heal and scab over at its own pace. The AG Silver was also great at keeping out any bacteria etc. For a few days I thought my wound was healed enough so that it might be good to air the wound, but when it started stinging, I knew it was in danger of becoming infected again, so I washed the wound again with saline, and applied the AG silver mesh gauze, and all stinging and infection disappeared. Gradually the wound stopped weeping/exuding, and the skin around it, which had been inflamed, wet and puffy for months and months, firmed up very nicely.In just over 2 weeks, my wound is 95% healed, and I feel so much better. I highly recommend this product to anyone with wound healing issues. Well worth the money, and awesome results!

t's great being able to get these dressings delivered so quickly, a very good product.

Used on my young sons hand injury after advice from hospital staff. Hard to tell exactly how much they helped, but I was extremely surprised how quickly and cleanly his hand healed and honestly believe this product was useful.

Helps to heal scabs and wounds really well

This works really well and aides quicker healing. I try to keep a supply in my medical dressings bag.

It says pad , but there is no pad. A thin sheet of material with no adhesive. Not worth the money.

I burned myself on the middle of my shin on a grill handle baking pizzas at 220 degrees, a 3 inch long burn that was around an inch wide with deeper damage in the middle of the burn. I left it untreated that day and the next day it had swollen all around my shin (which is normal for 2nd degree burns apparently). I actually didnt really realise the extent of the burn, leaving the wound open, thinking it would just go away on its own over a few days. Anyway, I was completely wrong. A deep burn touches on the tissue and because all of the skin has been burned away there is nothing to cover the wound, first degree burns heal easily as the skin can grow back quickly however 2nd degree burns have damaged tissue which takes a long time to recover and grow back and those wounds also become infected, as I discovered around a week later of leaving the wound open. The first few days I applied ointment to the open wound due to the swelling which brought the swelling down, however the wound acquired an 'eschar' which was a browny green kind of covering which did not look healthy at all. I realised that the wound wasn't healing by itself after a week and was actually looking worse as the damaged tissue seemed to be enlargening with reddish liquid dripping in some places. SO that's when i ordered these silver dressings and applied them after wiping the wound with a 40% alcohol solution, I applied the dressing dry directly to the wound. I used an adhesive sterile wound dressing (a big plaster) on top to keep it in place. I changed the dressing every 2-3 days and did that cycle 3 times. I noticed a big difference after just 2,5 days when I removed the first dressing. The silver dressing had absorbed most of the nasty looking 'eschar', the silver dressing had also become quite moist, peeling it off revealing pink healthy looking tissue underneath it. Again I cleansed the wound in the solution and reapplied a new silver dressing and plaster. 3 days later I removed that and it looked like some layers of skin had started growing and the wound was not as deep as it was previous with a healthy reddish brown colour. Again, I cleansed and put a new dressing in place and when that was removed 3 days later the wound had basically healed to such an extend that I didnt use the silver dressing and just applied the adhesive plaster for a day or two and now I have taken that off and the wound has healed over with a light flakey scab. If I had applied the dressing straight away I likely would have halved the healing time.
