Product information "Silverin silver nitrate etching rods 75% 115mm rigid"

View package leaflet

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

The removal of warts and use in podiatry (e.g. for corns) are common applications. The procedure is quick, simple and usually completely painless. Various concentrations (50%, 75%), stick lengths (115 mm, 200 mm) and materials (wood – rigid, plastic – flexible) 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 stumps in newborns can be easily removed using our caustic sticks; this procedure should be carried out by a doctor or midwife. In this case, only silver nitrate caustic sticks with a 50% concentration should be used.

Silver nitrate has an astringent and scab-forming effect, whilst potassium nitrate serves to mitigate the effect of the silver nitrate. Silver nitrate cautery sticks allow for precise, localised application, ensuring that the effect is confined to the desired area.

Indications

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

Method of use
  • First, moisten the tip of the caustic stick with water. The aim is to apply the silver nitrate-enriched liquid to the affected area. Roll the stick evenly over the desired area several times; do not apply any pressure. The treated area will change colour and will then be shed by the surrounding tissue over the course of a few days.
  • It may take up to 24 hours for discolouration to occur.
  • Notes: With the exception of wart removal, the silver nitrate caustic stick should only be used by qualified personnel.
