SILVER NITRATE: Moyer introduced it in 1965. He showed that in 0.05% concentration, silver nitrate does not injure regenerating epithelium in the burn wound and is effectively bacteriostaticagainst staphylococcus, aureus, E.coliand Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The usual method of application of silver nitrate dressings is to use thick layers of gauze saturated with the solution. The dressings are wetted at 2-hour intervals and changed twice a day. ADVANTAGES; DISADVANTAGES:
MEFENIDE ACETATE: It is available in a 10% water-soluble cream or a 5% solution . It is effective ,especially against all strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The water-soluble cream is applied to the wound like “butter”. The region is left exposed for maximal antibacterial efficiency. The cream is applied twice daily and replaced if it is rubbed off between treatments. The 5% solution is applied in a saturated gauze dressing and changed every eight hours.
