Key Features of Acticoat Moisture Control Dressings
ACTICOAT Moisture Control with SILCRYSTTM nanocrystals
is an absorbent antimicrobial dressing which consists
of a silver-coated wound contact layer, a highly absorbent
foam and waterproof top film.
Features
* New ACTICOAT Moisture Control eliminates threats to
healing.
* Powerful antimicrobial barrier protection.
* Waterproof film with visible strikethrough indicates
when dressing change is required.
* Highly absorbent hydrocellular technology wicks away
excess exudate.
* Patented nanocrystalline technology sets ACTICOAT apart
with proven bactericidal activity.
* Non-adhesive wound contact layer allows minimal pain
on removal.
* Extra cushioning maximizes comfort.
* Easy to apply and remove.
* No hydration or cover dressing required.
* Maintains shape for faster, cleaner dressing changes.
* Provides 7-day wear time.
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.
