InnovoSIL™ is Innovotech’s signature series of silver periodate antimicrobial compounds. Silver has been increasingly utilized in medical devices; However, silver products currently used on the market have poor solubility or rapid inactivation in bodily fluids. These materials were also designed for planktonic bacteria with limited biocidal activity against biofilms. InnovoSIL™ silver products contain periodate, enabling multiple mechanisms of killing against bacteria in both planktonic and biofilm states, combating the growing bacterial resistance. See the InnovoSIL™ product page for additional information.
