ACTICOAT Antimicrobial Barrier Dressings

Healing tough fractures just got easier

ACTICOAT^◊ with SILCRYST™ Nanocrystals are a unique range of antimicrobial barrier dressings, used in woundcare to help prevent infection, a recognised barrier to healing in full & partial thickness wounds.

An outbreak of wound infection can lead to increased nursing time; extended hospital stays, increasing healthcare costs, as well as affecting patient quality of life.

ACTICOAT^◊ dressings rapidly kill a broad spectrum of bacteria in as little as 30 minutes (in-vitro) and are effective for at least 3 days. The ACTICOAT^◊ Range of dressings help protect the wound site from bacterial contamination to assist faster healing.

Products within the range incude:
