Acticoat™ 7 Antimicrobial Dressing

for optimal wound management. The rayon/polyester core helps manage moisture level and controls the release
of silver ions.
Laboratory studies show that the ACTICOAT™ 7 dressing kills micro-organisms faster than conventional products such as silver sulfadiazine
(1 percent cream) or silver nitrate (0.5%) solution. It has also been shown in-vitro to provide protection against more than 150 pathogens.
The pathogens tested in the lab include very resistant strains of bacteria such as antibiotic-resistant strains of Pseudomonas, methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus and fungi. These pathogens have been known to sweep through a hospital and infect a great
many patients with already weakened immune systems. Infections contracted during hospitalization caused by these so-called superbugs and other organisms
cost North American taxpayers an estimated $18 billion a year in additional hospital care.
Indications for ACTICOAT™ 7 (with SILCRYST™ Nanocrystals) Antimicrobial Barrier Dressing is an effective barrier to bacterial penetration.
The barrier
function of the dressing may help reduce infection in partial and full thickness
wounds including decubitus ulcers,
venous stasis ulcers, diabetic ulcers,
first- and second-degree burns, and donor sites. ACTICOAT™ 7 dressings
may be used
over debrided and grafted partial thickness wounds.
