Summary:
Burns & wounds remains a common and difficult challenge to surgeons particularly plastic surgeons, various forms of dressings were introduced & used, however, still the selection & of a particular type is not well established & is rather a matter of personal judgment. Shifts in the age pattern of our society, which suggests an increase in the number of chronic wounds as well as the current budget restrictions in the public health field call for cost efficient, effective treatments. The higher healing rate by using silver clear helps to prevent follow up costs, the duration of inpatient therapy & may thus be a substantial support for our public health system. The aim of this study, which was done for fifty patients of different ages, sex & cause is to treat difficult cases, especially those who have been treated previously without success. Case studies showed marked improvements in efficacy with silver clear compared with the treatment methods previously used. Initial debridement & antimicrobial therapy if infection is present help in wound healing with silver clear, which is applied directly to the wound. If the wound is with heavy exudates, the silver can be applied every 1-3 days & if with low or none exudates can be applied every 3-5 days.
