Given that I remember reading here of CS becoming ineffective when put
into agar medium for testing against bacteria, plus reports of creams
and gels molding even with large proportions of CS used in making them,
I also don't believe a gel would be as effective as using liquid CS and
keeping it wetted. In the past I have done this by wetting the
application area well and covering with a bandage wetted with CS. In an
area where a bandage could not be applied, the wound was wetted with CS
and covered with a thick layer of an ointment I had on hand already.
My preferred method now is to use liquid CS with 10% DMSO added for
taking the CS deep into the tissues.
I do make my own cream using CS as the liquid portion, but that is just
because I have plenty of CS so why not use it instead of DW? And I know
from experience that this cream will mold if left out of refrigeration.
I like to keep it simple. I frankly do not see the point (for myself, of
going to the trouble to make up a gel as it is extra work for less
effectiveness. But this is just my two cents. Fine for those who feel
the need for a gel.

Gel should be made with VERY strong CS so ions and particles don't have to
migrate to make sufficient contact. Particle size isn't much of an issue
topically.

Just a thought, but wouldn't the silver ions or particles be held in place
by a gel and be unable to move to the intended area it was meant to treat ?
