Jude, E. B, et al. – Are there measurable clinical effects of a primary wound dressing containing silver?
>Summary: A prospective, multicentre study compared clinical efficacy and safety of AQUACEL® Hydrofiber® dressings containing ionic silver (AQAg) with those of Algosteril® calcium alginate (CA) dressings in managing out-patients with Type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus and non-ischaemic Wagner Grade 1 or 2 DFUs.
Outcomes: When added to standard care with appropriate off-loading, AQAg silver dressings were associated with favourable clinical outcomes compared with CA dressings, specifically in ulcer depth reduction and in infected ulcers requiring antibiotic treatment. This study reports the first significant clinical effects of a primary wound dressing containing silver on DFU healing
