I prepared a silver nanoparticle and I want to use it in medical engineering. If there is any applications of it?
Silver is amazing; it has been used to fight infections and control spoilage since at least the times of ancient Greece and Rome! As nanoparticles it can be used as a wound dressing, like bandages,antimicrobial ointments and cleaners.
• Silver must come in contact with the cut or burn to work effectively
• Silver kills bacteria by blocking their metabolism in a way that makes it difficult for bacteria to become resistant to silver
• Nano Silver is: High efficacious,Fast acting,Non poisonous,Non stimulating,Non allergic, Tolerance free and Hydrophilic.
Nano Silver will combine with the cell walls of pathogenic bacteria, will then directly get inside the bacteria and quickly combine with sulphydryl (-SH) of oxygenic metabolic enzyme to deactivate them, to block inhalation and metabolism and suffocate the bacteria.
Yes, Silver has so many Bio-medical applications and it depend upon how one use the silver. You can search that on net.
