Actilite

Antibacterial dressing with Activon+

Product Description
Actilite is made from knitted viscose for low adherence and coated with anti-bacterial Activon+. The dressing is designed to protect a wound, promote healing and allow the passage of exudate. Reduction in bacterial colonisation is achieved in a natural way through the antibacterial properties of the Manuka plant. Actilite has a level of Activon+ honey appropriate for wound protection, the antibacterial effect has been enhanced with the addition of high grade antibacterial Manuka oil (Activon+). This patented Activon+ technology has been demonstrated in-vitro to be effective against a number of major wound infecting organisms including MRSA, VRE and Providentia stuartii. In the laboratory tests the inhibition of bacteria was demonstrated to be better than a povidone iodine dressing and several silver based dressings.

Use
The hygroscopic effect of Activon+ promotes a moist wound healing environment. The dressing is easy to apply, with honey being naturally self-adherent it will gently adhere to surrounding dry skin but will not adhere to a wound bed. Apply a secondary dressing of choice, this can be an absorbent dressing or semi-permeable film dressing depending on the nature of the wound.
