<p>They call it the <a href="http://smp-prosit.com/products.htm">CMB Antimicrobial Wound Dressing</a>, and it is made of polyester fabric woven with a proprietary material called Prosit. When the bandage is moistened, the Prosit generates a low voltage, killing germs in the wound. One of these bandages can be worn for 3 days at a time, and their clinical trials indicate that they are highly effective in treating infected wounds. Take a look at their <a href="http://smp-prosit.com/pdf_files/SMP%20PROSIT%20brochure%20May%2008.pdf">brochure (PDF file)</a> for some informative and stomach-turning before and after photos.</p>
