For centuries, silver has been acknowledged as having curative powers including the ability to kill dangerous bacteria. There are few bacteria more dangerous than methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

A new study shows 19,000 deaths were directly linked to these superbugs in 2005 alone. X-STATIC - The Silver Fiber is a powerful tool used globally to treat advanced wounds in the fight against dangerous bacteria.

Because these organisms are resistant to powerful antibiotics, reducing the opportunities for transmission and cross-contamination must be a significant part of the disease eradication process.

“MRSA can live for over 50 days on surfaces, including bedding, garments, towels and even doctors' ties,” says Ron Flormann, General Manager, Noble Biomaterials Healthcare Division.

“Because of the way silver kills bacteria it is very effective against MRSA. X-STATIC - The Silver Fiber has been combined into dressings approved by the FDA to reduce the bacterial build-up that can cause cross contamination and possible infection.

Hospital textile applications made with X-STATIC have been shown in European studies to reduce bacterial growth, including MRSA, on the fabric helping to eliminate the transfer of the bacteria.”

The X-STATIC silver technology from Noble Biomaterials has a proven history of combating bacteria including MRSA and is used by global advanced wound care companies.

“Global Wound Care companies have long recognized the X-STATIC technology as a key component in their fight to reduce bacterial burden and promote the healing of chronic wounds.”
