Description
The Silver-Sept Antimicrobial Skin and Wound Gel is a clear, amorphous hydrogel wound dressing that carries 200 micrograms per gram of total silver for long lasting antimicrobial barrier protection. It maintains a moist wound environment that supports healing, and it will not stain or discolor tissue the way many silver products do. A single application can remain in the wound bed for up to 3 days, which stretches dressing change intervals on busy units. The gel comes in 1.5 oz and 3 oz tubes, packed 12 to a case.
- Silver antimicrobial barrier – 200 µg/g total silver inhibits common wound bacteria, including MRSA and VRE, and fungi
- Up to 3 days in the wound bed – fewer dressing changes for the patient and the care team
- Will not stain tissue – the clear gel avoids the discoloration associated with many silver dressings
- Moisture donating hydrogel – clear and amorphous, it conforms to the wound bed and keeps it visible
A Silver Hydrogel That Stays on Duty for Days
Silver has a long history in wound care, and this gel puts it in a format that fits modern dressing protocols. The hydrogel base donates moisture to the wound bed, keeping the environment moist and conducive to healing while the silver content works as an antimicrobial barrier. Because the gel can remain in place for up to 3 days, it suits wounds where frequent dressing changes are painful, impractical or disruptive to new tissue. It applies directly onto the wound bed in a layer about 1/8 to 3/16 inch thick and is then covered with a sterile gauze or other appropriate secondary dressing. Unlike many silver products, it does not stain or discolor the tissue it contacts, which keeps wound assessment straightforward at each change. Home users can apply it to abrasions and lacerations, while clinicians use it across a range of chronic and acute wounds under professional supervision.
Features and Benefits
Antimicrobial Barrier
- 200 µg/g total silver – a sustained antimicrobial barrier held in the wound bed by the hydrogel matrix
- Broad organism coverage – inhibits Staphylococcus aureus including MRSA, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VRE)
- Fungal coverage – inhibits Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans in addition to bacteria
Wear and Handling
- Up to 3 day wear – the gel may remain in the wound bed for up to 3 days between changes, depending on exudate and the secondary dressing
- No tissue staining – the clear formulation will not discolor tissue, so wound checks stay accurate
- Latex free – suitable for care plans that exclude latex containing products

Why Choose This Silver Wound Gel from MedicalEx?
Silver dressings often force a tradeoff between antimicrobial strength and wear time, and this gel is formulated to deliver both. A 3 day wear window lowers the total cost of care on chronic wounds, and the non-staining formula keeps the wound bed readable at every assessment. It is the line’s choice when a wound needs silver protection without a fabric dressing format.
- Three day wear time – longer intervals between changes than daily hydrogels, with antimicrobial activity throughout
- Readable wound bed – no silver staining, so tissue color changes stay visible to the assessing clinician
- Two tube sizes – 1.5 oz for small wounds and 3 oz for larger beds, both in economical cases of 12
Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
How much silver does the gel contain?
The gel contains 200 micrograms of total silver per gram of gel. That silver content provides the long lasting antimicrobial barrier the product is built around.
How long can the gel stay in the wound?
It may remain in the wound bed for up to 3 days. More frequent changes may be needed when exudate is heavy or the secondary dressing becomes saturated.
Which wounds is it used on?
Over the counter, it is used for abrasions and lacerations. Under the supervision of a healthcare professional it manages stage I to IV pressure ulcers, partial and full thickness wounds, first and second degree burns, diabetic foot and leg ulcers, and grafted and donor sites.
Will the silver stain the skin or wound bed?
No. The manufacturer states the gel will not stain or discolor tissue, which keeps the wound bed’s appearance true for assessment at dressing changes.
How is the gel applied?
Cleanse or debride the wound as needed, then apply a generous layer about 1/8 to 3/16 inch thick directly onto the wound bed. Cover it with sterile gauze or another appropriate secondary dressing and secure it in place.
How should the tubes be stored?
Store the tubes at room temperature between 15 and 30°C (59 and 86°F). The gel is latex free and is for external use only, not for ophthalmic use.
