3M Actisorb Silver 220 activated charcoal wound dressing with silver

features:

• The activated carbon binds odors in the dressing.
• Activated charcoal binds bacteria and toxins that impair the healing process.
• Silver kills the bacteria in the bandage.

This dressing is an activated charcoal dressing with silver encased in a non-adherent nylon shell that not only eliminates odors but, thanks to the activated charcoal, also binds bacteria and bacterial toxins within the dressing. The Actisorb Silver 220 dressing is effective in vitro against 150 microorganisms associated with wound infections, including MRSA and VRE, demonstrating that the dressing has effective antimicrobial activity without damaging host cells or preventing fibroblast proliferation. The Actisorb Silver 220 dressing eliminates unpleasant odors, thus improving patient comfort. Since unpleasant odors can accompany wound exudate, the Actisorb Silver 220 dressing also eliminates exudate and helps maintain a moist wound environment.

• decubitus
• Ulcers of various etiologies
• Diabetic foot ulcers
