ABSTRACT:
A multilayer laminate wound dressing comprising a plurality of layers of preferably silver or silver-coated fibers in a woven fabric alternating with layers of nonconductive, preferably nonmetallic, fabric. Each layer preferably contains a different ratio of metalized to nonmetalized fibers. The metalized fibers are preferably made of or coated with silver. The dressing promotes healing by stimulating cellular de-differetiation, followed by cellular proliferation. The dressing also has antibacterial, antifungal and analgesic properties.
