Exciton Technologies Inc. has developed the exsalt® technology, a proprietary chemical process, which deposits oxidized silver species onto a non-woven spunlace polyester laminated with gray Delnet® HDPE mesh layers on both sides. Silver in the KerraContact® Ag Perf Advanced Perforated Silver Wound Dressing (KerraContact® Ag Perf) inhibits bacterial growth in the dressing for up to 7 days. The concentration of the silver and oxidized silver species on the dressing is 0.4 mg/ cm² (4.5% w/w). The KerraContact® Ag Perf has been shown to be effective in vitro against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii. KerraContact® Ag Perf meets pyrogen limit specifications.
