Silver in the News
Silvertex GmbH from Neuenhagen near Berlin is making the shirts with a 5% silver content. Scientists developed the shirts accidentally while researching material to protect heart pacemakers from electromagnetic waves. Company chief Detlef Militz told Berliner Zeitung:"Even after playing badminton or riding my bike for hours, it still wouldn't smell." The shirts made from thick cotton thread mixed with thin silver are priced at 30 euros (about?19). They're not available in the UK. They go on sale next week in Germany and the company is hoping to expand into Italy. Mr. Militz is also hoping to develop the material for sports clothes and hospital linen. He added:"It could also be used for stockings and shoe linings."
The Westaim Corporation’s subsidiary, Westaim Biomedical Corp., today announced that it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance to market over-the-counter silver-based antimicrobial bandages for consumer use. The bandages will be a lower-dose version of Westaim Biomedical’s successful Acticoat® burn and chronic wound dressings.
With the new marketing clearance, Westaim Biomedical can adapt its technology to over-the-counter products for the local management of superficial wounds, cuts, scrapes, abrasions, lacerations and minor burns. The company will pursue similar approvals from Canada’s Health Protection Branch.
“Consumers will be able to use a lower dosage form of the same powerful technology employed in burn units to treat the most severe, life threatening infections humans can face,” said Scott H. Gillis, President of Westaim Biomedical. “We believe there is a significant market opportunity for a proven antimicrobial consumer bandage.”
“Popular over-the-counter bandages are not as effective against superbugs as Acticoat dressings,” said Gillis. “In laboratory tests, Acticoat products kill more bacteria, more quickly than ointment-based products such as the currently available antibacterial bandages.”
About Westaim Biomedical Corp.
Westaim Biomedical Corp. develops medical devices based on its Acticoat® antimicrobial technology, a patented method of applying a thin layer of antimicrobial silver to base materials. The first commercial product based on this technology is the Acticoat® Burn Dressing, launched into the burn wound market in 1998. Since then, the Acticoat® technology has demonstrated its clinical effectiveness in preventing infection in burn wounds.
