Silver-containing foil dressings are used frequently these days in nursing - not CS I admit - however what interested me was that I could feel a reddened swelling at the tip of one of my fingers indicating the beginning of infection there & wrapped it in a silver containing bandaid and within two days the finger was completely clear with never any increase in infection or pain ... I just felt that silver, even being near infection, was enough to clear it & was pleased that in this case this was so.
