Clinicians in the UK and much of Europe have enjoyed ready access to the wide spectrum of available wound dressings for many years. However, economic pressures and lack of evidence have been cited as the reasons for recent restrictions on modern wound dressings — notably, those containing the antimicrobial silver — particularly in the UK.

Prof. White notes that as with all antimicrobials, silver dressings must be used in an appropriate and structured manner for limited periods.
