Nanosilver and its Medical Implications

Abstract

Nanosciences along with the emergence of nanobiotechnolgy and nanomedicine in the last few decades provided a number of opportunities for exploring the bactericidal and fungicidal activities of metal nanoparticles. In the present scenario silver in the form of nanoparticles are playing a major role in the field of Nanotechnology and Nano medicine, their unique size dependent properties make them superior and indispensable. The use of nanotechnology in the field of medicine could revolutionize the way we detect and treat damage to the human body and disease in the future, and many techniques only imagined a few years ago are making remarkable progress towards becoming realities. Silver nanoparticles have been synthesized through various routes in the laboratories in India and as well as many foreign research institutes. These routes can be chemical as well as biological.Nanotechnology has provided a number of nanoparticle-based therapeutics and diagnostic agents. Silver-impregnated wound dressings have the potential to reduce both bio burden and healing time.

The Effect of Nanogold-Nanosilver to Boost Immunity in People Affected (Reactive and Positive) by Covid-19

“…The Nanogold-Nanosilver combination can be used as a drug delivery system that will increase the absorption of essential nutrients for the human body [15]. Nanoparticles in gold and silver have the efficiency of increasing the solubility of water-insoluble drugs, accelerating the reaction rate, increasing the half-life of drugs by reducing immunogenicity and so on [23].…”

Silver Nanoparticles Fabricated Using Chemical Vapor Deposition and Atomic Layer Deposition Techniques: Properties, Applications and Perspectives: Review

“…The system working on the board of International Space Station is a good example [9,11]. Moreover, the fabrication of this metal coating on the surface of medical devices or pieces of furniture, and also incorporation of Ag nanoparticles to the building and textile materials, influences the reduction of the hospital-related infections [12][13][14]. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are also component of many health and cosmetic products due to their antimicrobial activity and deodorizing properties [15,16].…”
