ARZOL® Silver Nitrate Applicators Silver Nitrate 75% Potassium Nitrate 25% for Simplified Silver Nitrate Therapy ARZOL Silver Nitrate Applicators provide a simple and convenient means of treating small lesions of the skin and mucous membranes. On contact with living tissue, silver nitrate acts as an escharotic. Deep action is avoided by the formation of a dense surface film of coagulated albumin. Silver nitrate is a powerful chemical germicide. Despite precipitation, it retains substantial germicidal potency even in the presence of large quantities of albuminous material, possibly by gradually redissolving the silver. The combination of silver nitrate with potassium nitrate has been called toughened silver nitrate , also lunar caustic . When the tip of the applicator is impregnated with this compound, as in ARZOL , the silver nitrate can be applied quickly and conveniently to the precise area to be treated without spread of the escharotic to adjacent healthy tissues.

On contact with living tissue, silver nitrate acts as an escharotic. Deep action is avoided by the formation of a dense surface film of coagulated albumin. Silver nitrate is a powerful chemical germicide. Despite precipitation, it retains substantial germicidal potency even in the presence of large quantities of albuminous material, possibly by gradually redissolving the silver. SPECIAL PROPERTIES The combination of silver nitrate with potassium nitrate has been called TOUGHENED SILVER NITRATE, also LUNAR CAUSTIC. When the tip of the applicator is impregnated with this compound, as in ARZOL, the silver nitrate can be applied quickly and conveniently to the precise area to be treated without spread of the escharotic to adjacent healthy tissues. Exposure to light causes the silver in the tip to oxidize and turn brown in color. This discoloration does not affect the therapeutic action of the tip and the oxidized film readily dissolves when dipped in water. Moisture has a deteriorating effect on the tip. It may cause it to break or loosen from the applicator; therefore the applicators should be kept in a dry place. CAUTION: Silver Nitrate is a caustic compound, the improper use of which may cause chemical burns. Silver Nitrate mixes with body fluids; this mixture is caustic and tissue damage may result if not removed quickly. Contact of Silver Nitrate applicators on neonates (as in use on the umbilicus) and on thin delicate skin should be extremely short in duration.
