SILVERDERM Cream is a specialized topical antibacterial treatment containing Silver Sulfadiazine (SSD). It is widely recognized in medical settings as a primary defense against infection in burn victims and patients with slow-healing skin ulcers.
- Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial: SSD works by releasing silver ions slowly, which are lethal to a wide range of bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa (a common cause of burn infections) and yeast.
- Wound Healing Environment: The cream base helps maintain a moist wound environment, which is essential for faster re-epithelialization (skin regrowth) and easier dressing changes with minimal pain.
- Prevention & Treatment: It is effectively used to prevent infection in 2nd and 3rd-degree burns, as well as treating infected pressure sores or leg ulcers.
- Safety Note: This product contains sulfonamide. It should not be used on infants under 2 months old or pregnant women nearing full term. If you have known allergies to "sulfa" drugs, consult your doctor before use.
Key Features:
- Silver Sulfadiazine 1% w/w: The gold standard for topical burn therapy.
- Cooling & Soothing: Helps provide immediate relief to heat-damaged skin.
- Easy Application: Smooth cream texture that spreads easily over large wound areas.
How to Use:
1. Cleanse: Gently clean the wound area and remove any dead skin or debris.
2. Apply: Using a sterile glove or spatula, apply a layer of Silverderm cream (about 1.5mm thickness) to the affected area.
3. Dress: The wound can be left exposed or covered with a sterile bandage/dressing as advised by your healthcare provider.
4. Frequency: Re-apply once or twice daily until the wound has healed.
