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 include:

ACTICOAT

A dressing which consists of three layers: an absorbent inner core sandwiched between outer layers of silver coated, low adherent polyethylene net. Nanocrystalline silver protects the wound site from bacterial contamination while the inner core helps maintain the moist environment optimal for wound healing. ACTICOAT can be left in place for up to three days.

ACTICOAT 7

ACTICOAT 7 with SILCRYST™ Nanocrystals is an effective antimicrobial barrier dressing. The nanocrystalline coating of silver rapidly kills a broad spectrum of bacteria in as little as 30 minutes (in-vitro) and is effective for up to 7 days. The ACTICOAT 7 dressing consists of five layers: two layers of an absorbent inner core sandwiched between three layers of silver coated, low adherent polyethylene net.

ACTICOAT Absorbent

ACTICOAT Absorbent combines all the benefits of nanocrystalline silver with a highly absorbent alginate. The nanocrystalline silver coated dressing forms a gel in contact with exudate, to provide a moist wound environment and the antimicrobial power of silver delivered within the dressing and to the wound bed.
