For clinical infection, topical silver does not replace the need for systemic therapy or suitable infection treatment. Melgisorb Ag can be used on infected wounds as established by the patient’s treating physician. Melgisorb Ag can be used on wounds at increased risk of infection, and on wounds with increased signs of a growing infection (increasing unpleasant odor, pain, exudate), to decrease bacteria levels.
