      Hi zzzape3

      Yeah, I have patented some silver wound dressings (they’re like high-tech plasters). Patenting means that you protect your invention so no one can come in and undercut you and make a load of money. Silver kills a broad spectrum of bacteria and these wound dressings would be specifically for people who are in hospital who are at risk of catching a hospital superbug. Have you heard of MRSA?

      Hopefully thousands of lives will be saved and one day, I will make a bit of money from them 🙂
