Product details

Actisorb Silver 220 Dressing is effective in vitro against 150 microorganisms associated with wound infection, including MRSA and VRE.² An in vitro study shows the dressing provides effective antimicrobial activity without causing any harm to host cells nor preventing fibroblast proliferation.³ Actisorb Silver 220 Dressing eliminates malodour thereby improving the patient’s quality of life.⁴ As malodor might be accompanied by wound fluids, Actisorb Silver 220 Dressing also manages exudate while helping to maintain a moist wound healing environment.⁵
  • Activated charcoal traps odour in the dressing¹
  • Activated charcoal binds bacteria and toxins that impair the healing process¹
  • Silver kills the bacteria in the dressing⁵
