3M™ Actisorb™ Plus 25 Activated Charcoal Dressing with Silver is an activated charcoal dressing with silver, enclosed in a non-adherent nylon sleeve. Traps odour while providing an effective barrier to bacterial penetration, which may help reduce infection.1
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
