Working silver caps
Just like the silverettes, silver caps can be used on your nipples. They are made of pure silver. The shape makes them comfortable to wear. By wearing the silver, the nipple is supported and protected. The healing effect of breast milk and the anti-bacterial effect of silver together ensure a healthy climate. The use of the silver caps is safe for the baby and the mother. They heal cracked nipples and thrush within a short time.
Prevention is better than cure
We recommend also solving the cause of the occurrence. Nipple fissures can often be prevented by properly latching on.
The properties of the silver are ideal in a moist location, such as those of the skin gland rich areola, which is particularly active during breastfeeding.
The wonderful ability of silver to kill harmful bacteria and viruses makes it a popular raw material for surgical tools. When using, make sure that the nipple can dry sufficiently in between. Read our article on how to prevent sore nipples and fissures here.
Pure silver & background
In Italy, silverettes are available in all pharmacies and classified as a Class 1 medical device. Silver caps are also becoming more and more popular in Belgium and the Netherlands. The silverette is originally from Italy. After years of experience and success in the sale of silver nipple caps, Meargentum decided in 2021 to move production to the Netherlands. With craftsmanship and the use of the highest medical silver (934/1000), the “The Original Dutch” silver caps are now even more pure than the original silverettes (925/1000).
