Abstract
The present invention relates to novel antimicrobial silver ion complex resinates. More particularly, the present invention contemplates silver ion complex resinate compositions comprising a silver-thiosulfate ion complex loaded onto an organic anion exchange resin. These silver thiosulfate ion complex resinate compositions are able to release stable antimicrobial silver ion complexes when placed in a saline environment. These antimicrobial silver-ion complex resinates are useful in the treatment and prevention of infections and diseases.

A composition comprising a silver thiosulfate ion complex bound to a cholestyramine resin, wherein said complex comprises a thiosulfate ion-to-silver molar ratio that is selected from the group consisting of at least 1:1, at least 1.3:1 and at least 3:1.
A wound dressing impregnated with a composition comprising a silver thiosulfate ion complex bound to an anion exchange resin.
An apparatus comprising a medical device impregnated with a composition comprising a silver thiosulfate ion complex bound to an anion exchange resin.
A method, comprising:
- a) providing;
- i) a patient exhibiting symptoms of infection;
- and
- ii) a composition comprising a silver thiosulfate ion complex bound to an anion exchange resin;
- and
- b) administering said composition to said patient under conditions so that at least one symptom of said infection is reduced.
A method, comprising:
- a) providing:
- i) a patient with a wound;
- and
- ii) a composition comprising a silver thiosulfate ion complex bound to an anion exchange resin;
- and
- b) delivering said composition to said wound.
A method, comprising:
- a) providing;
- i) a patient at risk for an infection;
- and
- ii) a composition comprising a silver thiosulfate ion complex bound to an anion exchange resin;
- and
