Hippocrates in his writings discussed the use of silver in wound care.[96] At the beginning of the twentieth century surgeons routinely used silver sutures to reduce the risk of infection.[96][97] In the early 20th century, physicians used silver-containing eyedrops to treat ophthalmic problems,[98] for various infections,[99][100] and sometimes internally for diseases such as tropical sprue,[101] epilepsy, gonorrhea, and the common cold.[52][78] During World War I, soldiers used silver leaf to treat infected wounds.[96][102]
In the 1840s, founder of gynecology J. Marion Sims employed silver wire, which he had a jeweler fashion, as a suture in gynecological surgery. This produced very favorable results when compared with its predecessors, silk and catgut.[97]
Prior to the introduction of modern antibiotics, colloidal silver was used as a germicide and disinfectant.[103] With the development of modern antibiotics in the 1940s, the use of silver as an antimicrobial agent diminished, although it retains some use in medicinal compounds today. Silver sulfadiazine (SSD) is a compound containing silver and the antibiotic sodium sulfadiazine, which was developed in 1968.[68]
