ABSTRACT:
An anti-infective medical article comprises a hydrophilic polymer having silver chloride bulk distributed therein. The hydrophilic polymer containing silver chloride may be a laminate over a base polymer. A method for making the article includes contacting the hydrophilic polymer with a solution of a soluble silver salt followed by a solution of a soluble chloride to give silver chloride bulk distributed throughout the polymer matrix. The polymer containing silver chloride may then be melt processed, such as by extruding or coextruding with the base polymer.
