Medical Uses of Silver from the Silver Institute...
Silver interrupts a bacteria cell’s ability to form chemical bonds essential to its survival. These bonds produce the cell’s physical structure so bacteria in the presence of silver literally falls apart. Cells in humans and other animals have thick walls and are not disturbed by silver. Therefore, silver prevents bacteria growth but is harmless to humans. One of the most important uses of silver as a biocide is in hospitals and other health care facilities. |
