摘要
This review summarises patents published from 2001 to 2004 on the microcidal properties of silver-releasing materials for healthcare and medicine. The anti-inflammatory, re-epitheliasation and antihaemorrhagic properties of the silver-releasing materials are also disclosed. A biological evaluation of the antiviral properties of silver tetra-silver tetra-oxide is discussed, but no biological data have been reported to support the claim that silver (1) has antiviral properties, as disclosed by most of the patents.
