Actually, the way I read it, the problem with silver is only when the fibroblasts are laying down the early matrix, so using silver when it’s not a deep cut or burn should be perfectly fine.

From Abstract: These findings may, in part, explain the clinical observa- tions of delayed wound healing or inhibition of wound epithelialization after the use of certain topical silver dressings. Caution should be exercised in using silver- based dressings in clean superficial wounds such as donor sites and superficial burns and also when cultured cells are being applied to wounds.
