Wound Care, Acticoat Burn

Acticoat is a highly conformable silver antimicrobial barrier dressing with a 3-day efficacy. Acticoat (with Nanocrystalline Silver) dressing is an effective antimicrobial barrier dressing. The nanocrystalline coating of silver rapidly kills a broad spectrum of bacteria in as little as 30 minutes. Acticoat dressing 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.
