Review on MedvanceTM Silver Foam Ag Sterile Antibacterial Dressing - Highly Absorbent, 4"X4", 5/Box by Joshua Talbot

This stuff has been a God-send for my poor, horribly painful finger! My cat got her claw down in between the fingernail and the flesh on the side of it. As a result, the flesh under the skin swelled up until it poked through the skin and protruded up between nail and side of finger. I had never experienced an injury like this before; for such a small area it throbbed and hurt all over my body. Not Antibiotic ointment or anything else I tried worked. After researching the problem, I found out it is called granulation tissue and can also be the result of burns. Soaking the finger four times a day in a cup of warm water and a teaspoon of salt, then applying this anti microbial foam directly on the wound and covering it with a nonstick bandage - or gauze with tape over it - has resulted in healing. I must say that at first it was painful because the nitrate (or whatever it is in the foam that pulls out the moisture and infection from the injured flesh) stings! But grin and bear it because that means it is doing its job! The stinging, which will stop after a while, I’d much preferred to the ongoing pain of the wound!This product arrived exactly as promised
