How does Acticoat work and what will it do for me?

Acticoat Burn Dressing Antimicrobial Barrier Dressing is an effective barrier to bacterial penetration. The barrier function of the dressing may help reduce infection in partial and full-thickness wounds including decubitus ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, diabetic ulcers, first- and second-degree burns, and donor sites. Acticoat* dressings may be used over debrided and grafted partial thickness wounds. The silver antimicrobial barrier dressing consists of a rayon/polyester non-woven core laminated (by sonic welds) between an upper and lower layer of silver coated high density polyethylene mesh (HDPE). The laminations are held in place with ultrasound welds. The silver coated HDPE layers are designed to be barriers against microbial infection of a wound. Rayon/polyester core helps manage moisture level and control silver release. Silver-coated high-density polyethylene mesh facilitates the passage of silver through the dressing. The nanocrystalline coating of pure silver delivers antimicrobial barrier activity within 30 minutes - faster than other forms of silver. NUCRYST Pharmaceutical's antimicrobial technology is able to produce silver-coated polyethylene films that can release an effective concentration of silver over several days. Thus, as silver ions are consumed, additional silver is released from the dressing to provide an effective antimicrobial barrier. This patented silver-based antimicrobial technology can be applied to a wide range of medical devices including wound dressings, certain types of catheters and various implants to prevent infection. This technology was first applied to burn wound dressings because burns present a very severe risk of infection.
