ACTICOAT Absorbent is an alginate dressing.
CLAIMED FEATURES: Utilizing advanced silver technology to help create an optimal wound environment. Easy to remove. Conforms to wound contours. Fast gelling, high mannuronic acid fibers. Low fiber shed. High wet and dry strength. Soft and conformable. Gels on contact with exudate promoting a moist wound environment. Highly absorbent. The nanocrystalline coating of pure silver delivers antimicrobial barrier activity within 30 minutes. NUCRYST Pharmaceutical's antimicrobial technology is able to produce silver-coated hydrophilic polyurethane foams that can release an effective concentration of silver over several days. Thus, as silver ions are consumed, additional silver is released from the dressing to provide an effective antimicrobial barrier. This patented silver-based antimicrobial technology can be applied to a wide range of medical devices including wound dressings, certain types of catheters and various implants to prevent infection.
