What is nanotechnology and nano-silver?

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 nano-silver particles 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.
