10 Jan SILVER DRESSING IN FISTULAS WITH BUTTONHOLE TECHNIQUE
Silver dressings with an antimicrobial action can be used as a barrier against microorganisms in wounds that have a high risk of infection or re-infection.
We used photographic monitoring to observe the development of some complications that occurred in patients using the FAV (AterioVenous Fistula) buttonhole method.
The critical issues were treated, until they were completely resolved, using an ionic silver dressing placed at the needle insertion points at the end of the dialysis treatment.
