What is SilvaPlex® and what makes it different from other wound-care products?
SilvaPlex® is a line of animal skin- and wound-care products built on patented "next generation" silver technology. Each formula combines Chitosan Silver, known for antimicrobial, antifungal, and wound-healing properties, with the patented silver compound ComplexAg21™. Wire2Wire Vet Products is the exclusive distribution agent for SilvaPlex®, which is manufactured in the USA.
Can SilvaPlex® help with ringworm, rain rot, and skin fungus on horses?
Yes. SilvaPlex® Wound Spray is highly effective for ringworm and is also used for rain rot and skin fungus, cuts and scrapes, insect bites, and minor hoof issues. It's a fast-acting, alcohol-free antiseptic you can spray directly onto wounds, and owners report it doesn't sting.
What is the difference between the SilvaPlex® Wound Spray and the Wound Gel?
The Wound Spray is a ready-to-use, alcohol-free antiseptic for everyday skin and wound protection. The SilvaPlex® Wound Gel clings to the application site for long-lasting contact, making it suited to deeper or chronic wounds, skin ulcers or proud flesh, and use under wraps or hoof boots. Both deliver silver-based antimicrobial protection through Chitosan Silver and ComplexAg21™.
What does the SilvaPlex® Shampoo do for a horse's skin and coat?
SilvaPlex® Shampoo is formulated with naturally derived ingredients and patented silver technology to clean and disinfect, calm irritated skin, help reduce fungal or bacterial growth, and restore coat shine and softness. It's geared toward horses dealing with sweet itch, skin infections or rashes, post-grooming sensitivity, and rain rot or cannon crud. It's safe for frequent use and rinses clean without harsh residues.
Is SilvaPlex® safe to use every day and around pets and children?
Yes. All SilvaPlex® formulas are designed for daily-use safety, with no harsh detergents, no alcohol, and no ingredients that damage tissue. The products are described as child-safe, pet-safe, vet-approved, and biodegradable and eco-friendly.
Are SilvaPlex® products only for horses, or can other animals use them?
While SilvaPlex® was developed with the equine world in mind, the products also help dogs, cats, goats, and other farm animals. The ingredients are made from natural biodegradable raw materials that are Ecocert-approved and gentle on both animals and the environment.
