Combining broad-spectrum antimicrobial action with bacterial toxin management and odor control, ACTISORB® Silver 220 may help reduce infection in partial and full thickness wounds. Embedded silver particles kill bacteria and fungi, while a highly porous activated charcoal layer binds toxins and odor causing molecules. Exudate is allowed to flow freely through to a secondary absorbent dressing; the outer nylon sleeve facilitates removal; with minimal adherence to the wound.

Excellent product (when correctly used)
This dressing contains silver & activated charcoal. It is excellent for healing chronic wounds associated with diabetes, venous insufficiency etc. It greatly reduces the formation of bacterial biofilm which retards the wound healing process. This product however is not a de-sloughing agent. If there is a lot of necrotic tissue or thick biofilm this should be removed by surgery or another topical agent before using Actisorb
