Description:

ACTICOAT 3 Day Dressing consists of two outer layers of nanocrystalline silver-coated polyethylene net and an inner absorbent layer. ACTICOAT 7 consists of three nanocrystalline silver-coated layers and two inner layers, for seven-day efficacy. Moisten dressing with sterile water or INTRASITE Gel (do not use saline) and cut to shape.

ACTICOAT protects the wound and assists in rapid healing by:

• Killing over 150 wound pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
• Shielding against bacterial penetration.
• Reducing the risk of bacterial colonisation, which may lead to infection.
• Helping maintain a moist wound environment in the presence of exudate

ACTICOAT has benefits for both patient and carer:

• Long-acting efficacy means fewer dressing changes

Acticoat 3 Day Dressing Features:

• Fast acting: Bactericidal in as little as 30 minutes to help improve healing times, when compared to standard treatment.
• Helps to minimise infection: Prophylactic use of ACTICOAT Dressings helps to prevent infection. Early intervention as part of an infection management protocol has been shown to reduce the risk of progression to infection.
• Sustained performance: ACTICOAT 7 Dressings release sufficient silver to remain active for up to 7 days, potentially creating time and budgetary efficiencies.
• Supports appropriate antimicrobial use: Early intervention with ACTICOAT dressings has been shown to help manage wound bioburden, which may reduce the need for antibiotics.

• Leg ulcers
