ACTICOAT 7

A longer lasting antimicrobial barrier dressing, ACTICOAT 7 has an effective, fast acting antimicrobial action utilising SILCRYST nanocrystalline silver technology to kill a broad spectrum of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria 8 in as little as 30 minutes 2,3,4,5. ACTICOAT 7 provides a sustained release of silver for up to 7 days ( in-vitro ) 9,10. With a five layer construction ACTICOAT 7 aids in the maintenance of a moist wound environment in the presence of exudate 11 and in effective wound bed preparation 12,13.

Indicated for:

Burns, Recipient Graft Sites, Venous Leg Ulcers, Pressure Ulcers, Diabetic Foot Ulcers

ACTICOAT for Budgets


As well as providing the patient with a comfortable and effective dressing, the ACTICOAT range also benefits the clinicians that work with it and the Health Care Systems that pay for it and associated treatment.


ACTICOAT is easy to apply and remove making dressing changes easier for both clinicians and patients 23. The sustained silver release (in-vitro24,25 means that the dressing can act as a long lasting antimicrobial barrier 24,25 and, in the case of ACTICOAT 7 and ACTICOAT Flex 7, can remain in place for up to 7 days 24,25 (demonstrated in-vitro).

ACTICOAT has been shown to promote faster healing through its ability to maintain a moist wound environment 26 coupled with a fast 7,8,9,10 and effective 11,12 antibacterial action (demonstrated in-vitro). ACTICOAT has been shown to shorten in-patient stay compared to SSD 21. The resulting decrease in bed time and subsequent nursing time means that ACTICOAT has been demonstrated to lower overall treatment costs compared to SSD in the high cost burns arena 27. ACTICOAT has also been shown to be more effective in a chronic setting by promoting faster wound healing compared to competitors 13. In a comparative study ACTICOAT was shown to not only result in faster time to resolution of infection 28 but also a decreased overall cost compared to competitors.
