Skin diseases are a serious problem in terms of public health [1]. More than 3000 acute and chronic skin disorders have been identified [1]. Among the rare causes of wound formation are inflammatory skin diseases [2]. Wound healing is a critical process for maintaining skin integrity and overall health [2]. While gauze and cotton dressings are used in wound care, they are not ideal for all wounds functionally. Such dressings can stick to the wound and can damage surrounding tissues when they are removed [3]. The need for more effective materials has led to the development of foam dressings. To reduce injure to the wound and surrounding skin during dressing remotion, adhesive-free and silicone-containing foam dressings[3]. have been designed [3, 4]. These dressings have the capacity to absorb excess fluid while holding moisture balance in the wound area [3]. Thermal insulation provides mechanical flexibility and protective padding. In addition, foam dressings can be enhanced with antimicrobial agents such as silver or medications, designed to offer microbial protection to the wound bed [4–5]. Thanks to these features, it reduces the risk of infection in the wound area and prevents the leakage of wound fluid, thereby stopping the spread of infection [4–5]. Silver nitrate exhibits tissue-sealing and regenerative effects, with minimal potential for functional impairment or permanent tissue injury [5]. In light of all this information, silver nitrate-infused silicone foams have been created and their effectiveness for wound coverage has been tested. The morphological possessions were performed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was utilised to observe the chemical interactions between the components. Bicompatibility tests were performed to determine its effect on live cells. Antimicrobial tests were conducted to test its effectiveness on microorganisms.
