ACTICOAT is an advanced antimicrobial dressing featuring nanocrystalline silver-coated layers that provide fast-acting and sustained antimicrobial protection for up to seven days. Designed for use on full and partial thickness wounds, the dressing kills over 150 wound pathogens within 30 minutes, including resistant strains such as MRSA and VRE. When moistened with sterile water or INTRASITE Gel, it rapidly releases silver ions that disrupt bacterial DNA and inhibit replication, helping to prevent infection and support faster wound healing. ACTICOAT maintains a moist wound environment, crucial for tissue repair, and reduces the frequency of dressing changes, improving patient comfort and clinical efficiency. It is suitable for treating burns, ulcers, diabetic wounds, pressure injuries, surgical sites, grafts, and donor sites.
