Benefits

Provides fast-acting, long-lasting antimicrobial barrier control. Effective barrier which may assist in preventing contamination of the wound.

Laboratory studies show that the ACTICOAT dressing kills micro-organisms faster than conventional products such as silver sulfadiazine (1 percent cream) or silver nitrate (0.5%) solution. 

It has also been shown in-vitro to provide protection against more than 150 pathogens. 

ACTICOAT is versatile.  The dressings can be cut to the desired shape and size to wrap around all body parts.

The sustained release of silver also means fewer dressing changes, resulting in less exposure of the wound bed to the environment.
