FDA Clears Wound Dressing for Treating Mustard Gas Injuries

Argentum Medical has received 510(k) clearance for its Silverlon Wound Contact Dressing for the treatment of certain injuries caused by sulfur mustard, most commonly known as mustard gas.

The agency’s decision marks its first approval of a product to manage certain blister injuries caused by mustard gas.

Argentum has received FDA clearances for multiple indications for its wound dressing since 2003, and the U.S. military has used the product for treating blast and burn wounds.
