Power of Ag Oxysalts Technology

• Silver is only effective at killing bacteria when it loses electrons in exudate. The more electrons that are lost, the more positively charged the silver becomes. This leads to a greater ability of silver to disrupt the normal function of the bacteria
• Exsalt dressings with Ag Oxysalts Technology are designed to lose 3 electrons in exudate (Ag3+) to make it more effective at killing bacteria. Other silver dressings only lose one electron (Ag1+) making their silver less effective
