There are a variety of wounds that respond to treatment with SilvaSorb Gel.  Because of its unique formula, which contains ionic silver, the gel is able to fight off the bacteria and fungi that can lead to infection, which promotes faster healing.  Leg ulcers are common chronic wounds, which respond well to treatment with this gel.  Also know as venous ulcers, they occur as a result of improperly functioning venous valves in the legs.  The ulcers can be very painful and account for more than seventy percent of all chronic wounds.  Proper treatment can prevent or at least decrease the recurrence of the wounds.

Pressure ulcers, or bedsores, are also common chronic wounds.  Bedsores are prone to infection, so they respond well to treatment with SilvaSorb Gel.  They occur as a result of unrelieved pressure and are most common in patients with paralysis or who are bedridden.  Because these types of sores are often in unexposed places on the body, they can go unnoticed, which will lead to infection in many cases.  Aggressive treatment with an antimicrobial or antibacterial dressing is the best way to treat these wounds and prevent a serious infection from occurring.

Diabetic ulcers occur frequently as a result of immune compromise from diabetes.  Often, these wounds also lead to infection, which can result in amputation.  Treating wounds like this with SilvaSorb Gel will allow them to heal and fight off the infection that a compromised immune system might not otherwise be able to fight off.  They are most likely to occur in the legs or feet and might go unnoticed because of the inability to perceive pain properly as a result of the disease.  That makes infection even more likely, and makes proper care and treatment even more important.

Some of the other types of wounds and sores that respond to treatment with SilvaSorb Gel include surgical wounds, first and second-degree burns, skin tears, lacerations, and grafted wounds or donor sites.  Treating these and all other wounds properly is important to your health and the prevention of a dangerous infection.  In the case of chronic wounds, treatment with this product can help to prevent recurrence of the wound and allow much faster healing.  Enjoying the benefits of ionic silver when treating your wounds can help you heal faster and get back to normal activities even sooner.  No matter what type of wounds you need to treat, the proper dressing will help you get healthy and stay healthy.
