View package leaflet

Silver nitrate etching sticks are used for chemical cauterisation by means of a mixture of silver nitrate and potassium nitrate attached to the head. They are used externally in a wide variety of applications.

The removal of warts and use in podiatry (e.g. for corns) are common areas of application. The application is quick, simple and usually completely painless. Various concentrations (50%, 75%), stick lengths (115mm, 200mm) and materials (wood - rigid, plastic - elastic) are available for treatment. Different groups of healthcare professionals have developed their own preferences and there are no formal recommendations regarding strength, length or material.

Umbilical cord remnants in newborns can be easily removed with our cautery sticks, an application should be performed by the doctor or midwife. In this case, only silver nitrate cautery sticks with a 50% concentration should be used.

Silver nitrate has an astringent and scab-forming effect, potassium nitrate is used to weaken the effect of the silver nitrate. Silver nitrate cautery sticks can be used selectively so that the effect is limited to the desired area.

Areas of application

  • For the removal of excessive tissue growths
  • For use in the gynaecological area
  • For use in wound management
  • For stoma care
  • For the treatment of warts and corns

Application
  • The head of the etching stick is first moistened with water. The aim is to bring the liquid enriched with silver nitrate into the application area. The stick is rolled evenly several times on the desired area, no pressure should be applied. The treated area becomes discoloured and is then shed from the surrounding tissue over a few days.
  • It can take up to 24 hours for discolouration to occur.
  • Notes: With the exception of wart removal, the silver nitrate etching stick should be used by specialised personnel.
