Antibiotics used to cure Uterine Tract Infections have resulted in the growth of MRSA. and other antibiotic resistant bacteria. The CDC guidelines state “Disposable diapers cause 95% of all UTI'S”. The procedures used for “prevention” are ineffective because millions of bacteria in incontinence garments continue to double every 20 minutes. Silver ions in bandages are used to cure severly damaged skin, such as in burns. The best two in a large scale test achieved results in just 30 minutes. This Invention uses silver ions in linings next to the skin to stop the growth of over 250 kinds of infectious bacteria on it's surface and the body parts it touches. It achieves results in 30 minutes, equal to the most highly rated bandages . . . for every level of incontinence for both sexes.
