SilvaGard® Technology

• Proprietary Catalyzed Chemical Process
• Formation and deposition of silver nanoparticles to surfaces
• Unprecedented antimicrobial effectiveness in preventing bio-film formation
• “Wet Immersion” Process
• Process Differentiation:
     • Applies to any material
     • Process controls rate and amount of silver deposited
     • Uniform but discontinuous coverage
     • Tenacious adhesion to materials without the need for an intermediate layer
     • Cannot be removed by ultrasonic cleaning
     • Material composition unchanged
     • Device dimensions unchanged
     • Capable of treating small dimensional areas, including both inner lumens and external
       surfaces
     • Biocompatible and safe
     • Non-toxic, non-irritating and non-sensitizing
     • An FDA-approved product on the market with a well understood regulatory path

SilvaGard® has been shown to be effective on a wide range of medical device materials and has most recently been incorporated with I-Flow Corporation’s ON-Q™ SilverSoaker™
