Description
The Span America SELAN Silver is a greaseless protective skin cream for intact skin. Span America is a Savaria company. Westin Healthcare quotes it and delivers it for homes and care sites in Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area.
This listing is SELAN Silver, the protective cream. Span writes that Selan Silver helps prevent dry, chapped, cracked, chafed, or irritated skin and plays an integral part in a healthy skin care regimen. This greaseless formula absorbs quickly, soothes, and moisturizes, even in vulnerable areas such as elbows and heels. It is paraben-free and formulated with dimethicone, sorbitol, lanolin, and Silvérion 2400. It is not intended for broken skin or open wounds. If the care team has asked for the zinc oxide barrier cream or the antifungal cream in the same family, ask us for that article. Those are separate Span products.
Who this cream is for
SELAN Silver is for a person whose skin is intact and who needs a non-greasy cream that helps prevent dry, chapped, cracked, chafed, or irritated skin. Span names elbows, heels, hands, buttocks, thighs, and lower legs as the vulnerable areas the cream is written to help protect.
Families and wound-care nurses usually call us when the care plan asks for SELAN Silver, not a zinc oxide paste and not an antifungal. Homes, retirement residences, and long-term care sites use it as part of a daily skin care regimen on intact skin.
- Intact dry, chapped, cracked, chafed, or irritated skin
- Elbows, heels, hands, buttocks, thighs, and lower legs
- A greaseless cream that absorbs quickly and is easy to apply
What you get and how it is made
You get SELAN Silver in the pack you pick: a case of twelve 4 oz (113.4 g) tubes, or a case of one thousand 8 ml packets. The cream is white to off-white and has a light fragrance. Span writes that it is easy to apply, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly. The formula is paraben-free. It contains dimethicone, sorbitol, and lanolin, plus Silvérion 2400 (silver citrate and citric acid). Span describes Silvérion 2400 as a preservative. It is not a colloidal silver product.
Use is external only. Span's precaution is that the cream is not intended for broken skin or open wounds. After the skin is clean and dry, massage a thin layer until it disappears. Span's family usage guide for the protective cream says to reapply once every 12 hours, or more often as needed.
Span America SELAN Silver specifications
These figures are for SELAN Silver in the SSPC codes on this page. They are not the SELAN + AF antifungal tubes and not the SELAN + Zinc Oxide barrier cream or lotion. The specification tab holds the stored values.
Live packs are the 4 oz (113.4 g) tube in a case of 12 (SSPC04012) and the 8 ml packet in a case of 1000 (SSPC81000). The cream is for intact skin. Span prints no warranty year count on this cream. The specification tab lists the stored values for ingredients, form, and pack sizes.
Pack options
Use Choose Pack. The default on this page is 4 oz Tube, case of 12 (SSPC04012).
- 4 oz Tube, case of 12 (SSPC04012)
- 8 ml Packet, case of 1000 (SSPC81000)
Single tubes and a smaller packet case are quoted with the room when the facility wants those counts. Ask us if the order names a different pack.
Delivery in Brampton and the GTA
Westin's own team can deliver this cream across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area, on its own or with a bed or lift setup. We have three stores in the Brampton and Toronto area if you would rather see a sample first. For a scheduled drop-off, call (905) 451-7743 and we will book the next date that works.
This is a small carton. The Canada-wide free ground-shipping offer on smaller goods can apply when it ships without a bed or a lift. If it travels with a hospital bed, the bed is oversized and White-Glove Delivery is described on the shipping policy. Any charge is confirmed on your order.
How this cream fits a care plan
SELAN Silver is a topical cream. It does not attach to a lift and it does not replace a mattress or a cushion. Span writes it for intact skin as part of a healthy skin care regimen.
This is not SELAN + Zinc Oxide. That sibling is the zinc oxide barrier cream and lotion for moisture-related rashes. This is not SELAN + AF. That sibling is the antifungal cream with miconazole nitrate. Ask us for the matching article if the care plan names zinc oxide or an antifungal.
If the room also needs a Span bed, see the Span America Advantage or the Span America Encore. If the seating plan names a Span foam seat, see the Span America Geo-Matt PRT we already list. We already stock PressureGuard Custom Care and Span-Care mattresses and will quote those separately. Browse hospital beds and medical mattresses when the cream is only part of the room.

What is SELAN Silver?
