GENEVA, Ill., Mar. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cura
Surgical has been awarded a contract with Premier Inc., a leading
healthcare improvement company. This agreement enables Cura
Surgical to provide a comprehensive line of unique silver-plated
nylon dressings in both Silverlon® and TheraBond® product
ranges.
Premier Inc., is a healthcare improvement company utilizing an
alliance of approximately 4,000 U.S. hospitals and health systems
and approximately 165,000 other providers and organizations.
"Silverlon has been included in numerous studies that have
clearly demonstrated that silver nylon dressings can offer
advantages that help to improve patient care," said Raul Brizuela, president and CEO of Cura
Surgical and Argentum Medical, provider of Silverlon. "We are
grateful for this opportunity and look forward to working with
Premier member hospitals providing improved patient care, enhanced
savings, and creating exceptional value through clinical
excellence."
Silverlon® antimicrobial silver-plated dressings provide
50-100xs more silver than other silver-based antimicrobial
dressings, and Silverlon's efficacy is supported by multiple
independent, peer-reviewed and published clinical studies. These
studies suggest Silverlon® Dressings can be an important element in
wound care and that control of wound bacteria within the dressing
may help reduce the risk of infection.
About Silverlon®
Silverlon® wound dressings have a permanently plated metallic
surface, which provides the antimicrobial benefits of silver in the
dressing without staining the skin and without increasing
bioburden. Silverlon was originally developed for the U.S.
military, where it is still extensively used for management of burn
and blast injuries. Silverlon® dressings are used today by surgeons
and other healthcare professionals around the world on surgical
wounds, in negative pressure wound therapy, on chronic wounds,
burns, skin grafts, and IV and catheter-related wounds.
Silverlon® Island Wound Dressings and Silverlon® Wound Pad
Dressings are indicated for the management of infected wounds, as
the silver in the dressing provides an antimicrobial barrier that
may be helpful in managing these wounds. In addition, the moist
wound healing environment and control of wound bacteria within the
Silverlon® Island Wound Dressing and Silverlon® Wound Pad Dressing
may help reduce the risk of wound infection and support the body's
healing process. Silverlon® Island Wound Dressings and Silverlon®
Wound Pad Dressing's non-adherent wound contact layer reduces pain
during dressing changes and evaporation of moisture in the dressing
may soothe the wound.
