for eMaxHealth(NC)-Cuts and scrapes are part of growing up. Now infection from these injuries can be prevented thanks to a new bandage from Elastoplast called SilverHealingT. As the name implies, SilverHealing is silver, but not where you may expect. At first glance, SilverHealing looks like a regular bandage but turn it over and you'll uncover SilverHealing's unique 'silver' wound pad. The silver in the wound pad penetrates minor cuts and wounds, destroying germs and accelerating natural healing.
"There's a great deal of germ-killing power in this technologically advanced bandage," says Judy Knighton, MScN., of the Ross Tilley Burn Centre at Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Science Centre in Toronto. "Nearly 50 per cent of cuts become infected. Now with Elastoplast SilverHealing, we can prevent infection, which helps to promote optimal healing of cuts and minor wounds."
Recommended for the entire family, Elastoplast SilverHealing is available across Canada. For further information on Elastoplast SilverHealing and the new SprayBandage, visit www.elastoplast.ca Bacteria beware.
