When used in conjunction with the Invia® NPWT pump that is intended to be used for negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), Invia® Silverlon® NPWT Antimicrobial Wound Contact Dressings are intended to provide moist wound environment and are used for the management of chronic, acute, surgical, traumatic, sub-acute and dehisced wounds, ulcers (such as pressure or diabetic), partial-thickness burns, flaps and grafts.

Invia® Silverlon® NPWT Antimicrobial Wound Contact Dressings provide a non-adherent, conformable, antimicrobial barrier and may help reduce infection when placed under reticulated foam, gauze, or other wound fillers. Silverlon delivers antimicrobial silver ions in the dressing when activated by moisture. The silver ions in the dressing kill wound bacteria held in the dressing and provide an antimicrobial barrier for bacterial penetration of the dressing which may help reduce infection.
