ACTICOAT™ Antimicrobial Barrier Dressing
ACTICOAT Antimicrobial Barrier Dressings are designed with advanced nanocrystalline silver (NCS) technology. This unique construction provides a large surface area of silver, which enables a sustained release of the active agent into the wound fluid. By incorporating this technology, the dressing is intended to maintain a consistent concentration of silver at the wound site, allowing it to act as a bactericidal barrier. The system is engineered to function effectively across a variety of wound types, including acute, chronic, and burn wounds, supporting clinicians in their efforts to act with certainty during the healing process. In addition to its antimicrobial properties, the dressing is designed to help promote and retain a moist wound environment when utilized in conjunction with an appropriate secondary dressing. The design philosophy focuses on the delivery of reliable antimicrobial performance, supported by the specific physical structure of the nanocrystalline silver coating. This ensures that the dressing can manage the wound environment effectively, providing sustained action that lasts for the duration of the dressing's wear time, which varies by specific product selection. The technology is evidenced to provide the necessary silver concentration to address bacterial concerns within the wound bed.
