This makes it an ideal choice for coating materials used in medical devices to ensure patient safety.

It targets components within bacterial cells, preventing them from developing resistance to silver and enhancing the overall safety and efficacy of medical devices.The benefits of using silver include antimicrobial protection, reduced risk of infections, and enhanced healing of skin tissues. Silver also provides gentle pressure and protection to sensitive areas.
