Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing science of producing and utilizing nano-sized particles that measure in nanometers (1 nm = 1 billionth of a metre). One nanomaterial that is having an early impact in healthcare products is nano-silver.

Silver has been used for the treatment of medical ailments for over 100 years due to its natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. The silver nanoparticles typically measure 25nm. They have extremely large relative surface area, increasing their contact with bacteria or fungi, and vastly improving its bactericidal and fungicidal effectiveness.

The nano-silver when in contact with bacteria and fungus will adversely affect cellular metabolism and inhibit cell growth. The nano-silver suppresses respiration, basal metabolism of electron transfer system, and transport of substrate in the microbial cell membrane. The nano-silver inhibits multiplication and growth of those bacteria and fungi which cause infection, odour, itchiness and sores.

Nano-silver can be applied to a range of other healthcare products such as dressings for burns, scald, skin donor and recipient sites; plasters for surgical and trauma wounds; aqueous gel for spots, acne and cavity wounds; and female hygiene products - panty liners, sanitary towels and pants.

Nano-silver is:
· Highly efficacious
· Fast acting
· Non Poisonous
· Non stimulating
· Non allergic
· Tolerance Free
· Hydrophilic

Benefits of Nano-Silver Pre-Filter:

• Environmentally friendly and non toxic.
• Provides anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, sterilization, and deodorization protection.
• Kills over 650 types of bacteria.
• Traps large sized particles and dust.
• Highly toxic to germs and bacteria while harmless to human body.
• Permanent: silver’s effectiveness is not weakened as it destroys more bacteria.
