New Nanotechnology Receives FDA Approval

Abstract:
AcryMed Inc. today announced clearance from the Food And Drug Administration (FDA) for the first use of SilvaGard™, the company’s breakthrough silver nanotechnology that can render existing medical devices impervious to infection-causing bacteria. Unlike any other infection control technology available today, SilvaGard can be used to treat virtually any medical device and its use does not alter the device’s original properties.
