I have been discussing CS on a horse forum that I am on and some are very skeptical due to Argyria info they turn up on searches, but many are interested. Horse folks want to know what really works and will be easy, inexpensive and keep wounds below the knee from forming Proud Flesh, a common occurrence in slow healing wounds. I will be posting this information there this morning. It will be interesting to see how this cross section of humanity from Dressage Queens to Outback Sheep Herders reacts to this product.
Garnet ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Equus May 2004 in their New Products section lists VetAg Wrap. "Antimicrobial wound dressings. A thin stretchable fabric made of medical-grade-nylon coated with 99 percent pure silver, these wraps are designed to inhibit bacterial growth in pressure sores, burns, abrasions and other open wounds without the use of drugs. The dressing is placed directly over cleaned wound, with or without an over lying bandage. The VetAg Wrap may be removed while the wound is cleaned, then rinsed in water and reapplied, but it needs to be disposed of once the wound has healed. The dressings come in three sizes and can be cut to fit. Manufacturers comments: 'Silver salve has been used on burn victims for years, and historically, it was used before penicillin was invented', says Marty Emrich, sales and marketing representative for Berlin Industries. 'The silver has been known to have antimicrobial properties for up to 28 days.' Price $9.50 for a four fy four inch pad; $15.99 for an eight by sixteen inch pad; $19.95 for a four by twenty four inch pad.
