ACTICOAT is a potent antimicrobial barrier dressing. The Nanocrystalline coating of silver rapidly kills a broad spectrum of bacteria in as little as 30 minutes.

ACTICOAT 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 colonization while the inner core helps maintain moist wound environment.

Indicated as an antimicrobial barrier layer over partial and full thickness wounds such as pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, burns, recipient graft sites and cavity wounds.

• Do not use on patients with a known sensitivity to silver.
• In patients undergoing MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) ACTICOAT must be removed from the area within the anatomical field being imaged. If ACTICOAT is being used on any area not within the image field, it may remain in place during the MRI.
• Prior to administering radiation therapy, remove ACTICOAT. A new dressing can be applied following treatment.
• For external use only
• ACTICOAT is not compatible with oil-based products, such as petrolatum
• Avoid contact with electrodes or conductive gels during electronic measurements e.g. EEG and ECG
• Do not use if product color is not uniform
