This clinical trial showed the efficacy of silver ions releasing dressing Exit-Pad Ag in the treatment and prevention of the exit-site infections (ESI) affecting the Tenckoff peritoneal catheter.

The patient, a 47 year old chronically affected by nasal S. AUREUS, has been repeatedly treated with systemic antibiotics without success, while complete recovery was reached after the local application of the advanced silver releasing dressing Exit-Pad Ag. Moreover, beside a consistent reduction of the costs, the use of advanced dressings improved her mental and physical wellbeing.
