And it contains silver nanoparticles to kill harmful microbes.

The gels are also relatively cheap compared with many alternatives. The raw materials to create the gel cost about $0.14 per bandage. To make a similar-size piece of Apligraf, a commercially available wound healing treatment made of living cells, the materials cost about $154.

Pretty cool,,,,if you like seeing your wounds.

Really it has always been a bit odd to be that they didn't use Silvadene more widely. I had a doctor tell me it shouldn't be use for anything but burns but my grandmother swore by the stuff for every type of cut or scrap she got.
