SILVERIN STICKS 75% with silver nitrate, for wound management, hard, 20 cm

Silver nitrate cautery sticks are used for chemical cauterisation using a mixture of silver nitrate and potassium nitrate that is attached to the head of the sticks. They have long been described in pharmacopoeias and are used externally for a wide variety of uses.

Silver nitrate cautery sticks are a proven means of removing excessive tissue proliferation that may occur when skin wounds heal, for example surgical cavities with granulation polyps. They are suitable for use in wound management, stoma care and aphthous stomatitis. They are also used for haemostasis in the case of minor bleeding such as nosebleeds or after biopsies, or when the use of electrocautery would be too complicated and painful.

Common areas of use are to remove warts and in podiatry (e.g. for corns). Application is quick, easy and usually completely painless.

Uses and indications
First, moisten the head of the stick using water. The aim is to apply the liquid that has been enriched with silver nitrate to the desired area. Roll the stick evenly over the desired area several times, applying no pressure. The treated area will discolour and then be repelled by the surrounding tissue within a few days.

It may take up to 24 hours for the discolouration to occur.

With the exception of wart removal, silver nitrate cautery sticks should only be used by professionals.

Ingredients
The head of each cautery stick consists of 75% silver nitrate and 25% potassium nitrate.
