Antimicrobial wound dressing, SEM
Antimicrobial wound dressing. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of fibres (diagonal) from an Aquacel Ag wound dressing. The fibres of this dressing are made from sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) that contain 1.2 percent silver (coloured dots) in an ionic form. In the presence of sodium ions secreted from a wound, the silver ions are released and exert a sustained antimicrobial effect against a wide range of organisms including MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). This protects the wound and helps aid healing

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of an antimicrobial wound dressing under a scanning electron microscope. The colored dots scattered across the fibers represent silver ions in their ionic form, which make up 1.2 percent of the sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) material used to create this dressing. When exposed to sodium ions secreted from a wound, these silver ions are released and exhibit a sustained antimicrobial effect against various organisms, including MRSA. The innovative technology behind this dressing plays a crucial role in protecting wounds and aiding healing processes. Its ability to combat infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is particularly noteworthy. By leveraging nanotechnology and materials science, this biochemically advanced product demonstrates its effectiveness as an antibacterial agent. The black background enhances the visual impact of this image while highlighting the vibrant colors that represent different elements within the composition. This photograph not only captures the beauty of scientific exploration but also serves as a testament to advancements made in medical research during the 21st century. Presented by Science Photo Library, this SEM image provides valuable insights into infection control techniques without mentioning any specific commercial use or company affiliation. It exemplifies how interdisciplinary collaborations between medicine, chemistry, and technology can lead to groundbreaking solutions for healthcare challenges we face today.
