New Approach
to Wound Care
Early infection prevention
Until Lister’s studies of surgery 1867, most people believed that chemical damage from
exposures to bad air was responsible for infections in wounds. Hospital wards were
occasionally aired out at midday as a precaution against the spread of infection miasma (bad
air), but practices of washing hands or a patient’s wound’s were not considered necessary to
avoid infection. Surgeons of the time referred to the “good old surgical stink” and took pride
in the accumulated stains on their unwashed operating gowns as a display of their experience.
Lister instructed surgeons under his responsibility to wash their hands before and after
operations to prevent bacteria colonization and wound infection.
As the “germ theory of disease” became more widely accepted, it was realized that infection
could be better avoided by preventing bacteria from getting into wounds in the first place. This
led to the rise of sterile surgery. On the centenary of his death, in 1912, Lister was considered
by most in the medical field as “the father of modern surgery”.
Since Listers days wound care has developed to high standard, but still bacteria contamination
causes number of wounds to get infected. New methods are needed to prevent wound
infections.

Infection Prevention
– New Approach to Wound Care
Challenge
Treating infected wounds cause more and more unnecessary costs. At the same time, health
care sector is struggling with tight budgets. New methods are needed to solve this challenge.
Wounds get infected because of neglected prevention
Even if hygiene issues are well taken care of, number of wounds get infected. Also, not all
wounds are treated in clean hospital environment. Even lack of clean water can be an issue.
Traditional wound dressings lack capacity to prevent infections. Traditional silver dressings are
both too expensive to be used widely in infection prevention and their use is limited due to silver
leach.
Solution
Silvergreen introduces new approach to wound care, and launchs a new innovative SGSOFT
-antimicrobial wound dressing portfolio. SGSOFT is safe and easy to use, versatile and
inexpensive. It is designed for infection prevention.
How does it work?
SGSOFT contains ionic silver tightly bound to the dressing fibers. SGSOFT stops efficiently
bacteria colonization by absorbing secretion and bacteria from wound. Silver ions do not leach
to the wound but prevents the dressing contact layer bacteria colonization. Clean wound
healing environment efficiently prevents infections in wounds.
SGSOFT® -Wound dressings have new innov
SGSOFT® is efficient antimicrobial wound dressing containing ionic silver tightly bound into
the dressing. The non-leaching feature offers the dressing safe and easy use together with
capability to efficiently prevent bacteria colonization and wound infections.
SGSOFT® -Dressing
SGSOFT® -Foam
SGSOFT® -Dressing is an absorptive non-woven
which obtains moist wound bed. Moist wound bed
preparation ensures a good foundation for the
debridement.
SGSOFT® -Dressings are designed for modern wound
care. Unique non-woven fabric allows a soft and gentle
prevention of bacteria colonization and wound infection.

Lightly exuding wounds.
SGSOFT® -Foam offers the optimal moist balance on
the wound where there is a need for higher
absorbability.
SGSOFT® -Foam dressing has three layers; unique
non-woven fabric contact layer, polyurethane foam that
captures effectively the secretion and protective film
on top. Dressing allows a soft and gentle preventative
wound management against bacteria colonization.
