Marketed (2)

Nanocrystalline silver · University of Sorocaba · Infectious Disease / Wound Care
Nanocrystalline silver exerts antimicrobial effects by releasing silver ions that disrupt bacterial cell membranes and inhibit microbial growth.
Silver Colloid · London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's · Wound care / Infectious disease
Silver colloid exerts antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects through the release of silver ions that disrupt bacterial cell membranes and reduce inflammatory mediators.
