My MIL used to live with us, she had very poor circulation and wound healing ability. She fell and had a bad wound at age 101 from scraping against the hook on a coat hanger that also fell, and it took 6 weeks or more for it to heal. She was going to a wound clinic at the hospital and they were willing to use silver dressing on her wound, it is called Aquasol Ag by Convatec. It is my impression it is silver in some kind of kelp-based sheet, like agar-agar, so when it gets wet from the wound seepage it swells. It did tend to kind of stick to the wound. I just googled it and it is for sale on Amazon and elsewhere. It did slowly heal her wound. I guess I would consider it overkill for a healthy person or small wound. Nancy

Silver bandages have been used for years now by the US armed forces in their field dressings. I have band-aids in the cupboard that say they are silver-impregnated.
