Thanks for the reminder Neville. I have sprayed the wound .. but not
soaked the bandage.. good thinking. :)

I simply wet an ordinary bandaid, or bandage dependant on wound size,
with silver and place on wound. That dressing is kept wet with
silver using a syringe as often as possible/feasible and is not
removed for changing for several days, as you say Jane. I've always
done this for any injury I've ever had. Of course I would consider
an alternative treatment if my leg was cut off <g>.
I also did this for toenail fungus (haven't a bloody clue as to how I
got that?), sprayed directly on toe and wet the sock around the area
of that toe before putting shoe on each day. Did this for a couple
of weeks until I considered the fungus was killed, it then took about
2-3 years for the nail to regrow normally. The silver may have
killed it in a matter of days however, I don't know?

I did wear the bandaid for several days and through a few washes
otherwise there was no skin break - but I knew it would do the trick
& it did & yes I have used silver dressings extensively for burns
patients for many years while I was nursing. I have to say I am
disappointed it contains aluminium.

The silver bandaid has a layer interwoven with aluminum thread
and another one with silver thread. When body fluids provide the
electrolyte, a battery effect is created which sends silver ions
headed towards the aluminum..only to get lost in the wound.
It is in all respects, a "CS" generator wrapped around your finger.
The silver dressings such as silverlon and acticoat are used
with small amounts of electrical current to produce the silver
ions in the wound. Often used in burn wards now.
