Indications for Use
SILVERSEAL® Orthotic Components with X-Static® are used as components on various orthotic devices intended for medical purposes that can be worn as a cervical collar or brace. The component comprises a knitted stockinette which is made of 90% cotton or polyester, and 10% X-Static®, which is 1.5% silver oxide. The component provides the skin with an antimicrobial barrier.
Device Story
SILVERSEAL® Orthotic Components are knitted stockinettes designed for external skin contact when used with orthotic devices like cervical collars or braces. Fabric composition consists of 90% cotton or polyester and 10% X-Static® (nylon fiber substrate coated with 1.5% silver oxide). The silver oxide layer provides an antimicrobial barrier to protect the skin from microbial contamination. The device is intended for use in clinical or home settings as part of an orthotic application.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing performed in accordance with ISO 10993 standards, including sensitization and acute intracutaneous reactivity, confirmed the device is safe for its intended use.
Technological Characteristics
Knitted stockinette fabric; 90% cotton or polyester, 10% X-Static® (nylon fiber substrate with 1.5% silver oxide). Antimicrobial barrier function via metallic silver. Biocompatibility tested per ISO 10993.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a component on orthotic devices, such as cervical collars or braces, to provide an antimicrobial barrier to the skin.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
