Acticoat Absorbent Dressing is a calcium alginate dressing utilizing advanced silver technology to help create an optimal wound environment.

ACTICOAT Absorbent (with SILCRYST™ Nanocrystals) Antimicrobial Barrier Dressing is an effective barrier to bacterial penetration. The barrier functions of the dressing may help reduce infection in moderately to heavily exuding partial and full-thickness wounds including decubitus ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, surgical wounds, first- and second-degree burns, grafts and donor sites.

Contradictions

• Ensure that the packing in cavities, sinuses etc. has been removed.
• The dressing may adhere if used on very lightly exuding wounds. If the dressing is not easily removed, moisten it with sterile water, then remove.
• Do not use on patients with a known allergy to alginates.
