any medical or thermodynamic engineers?

[Cu Later]

silver and copper? antimicrobial and energy transfer?

I'm neither of these, but I do manage some thermal analysis engineers. What's the question?

I once burnt my hand down to the bone and it wouldn't heal.

Silvadyne (ointment) fixed it.

thogey, I'm no doctor, but I am a pharmacist. You had silvadene cream. Silver has incredible antimicrobial qualities and silvadene is a common cream used on burns. Silver has actually been shown to inhibit HIV binding to cells in-vitro (I think I read that in the journal of nanotechnology). As if we needed more reason to love silver.

Keep stacking.

[Thogey]

Well..there you are!

Silvadene was great! I had this gaping hole just below my left index knuckle for weeks. Once we started silvadene, the wound immediatley closed up (within a couple days) and healed quickly. Except for an indent that only I notice, no scar exists.

Looks like it requires a prescription - too bad.

Dang, too slow. I just about to say the same thing but you beat me to it.

just curious of their capabilities and possible future uses.

Some studies involving endotracheal tubes coated with silver particulate to inhibit bacterial growth were being conducted at WVU while I was in school. The idea was to cut down on secondary respiratory infections caused by normal oral microorganisms.

Lots o' cool things......my favorite is still the Morgan Dollar.

We recently did a trial period with silver impregnated hubs for medical central lines designed to decrease infection rates. Never saw the full report but from what I heard the results were quite impressive.
