Everything you need to know about ActivHeal dressings
ActivHeal is a range of dressings designed for acute and chronic wounds. These products are developed to promote moist wound healing by keeping the wound moist. ActivHeal has the following benefits:
- Faster wound healing
- Reduced pain and scarring
- Minimised risk of wound infection
- Stimulation of collagen synthesis by fibroblasts
- Promotion of keratinocyte cell function
There are several types of ActivHeal dressings:
- ActivHeal Alginate
Alginic acid is a naturally occurring hydrophilic substance that forms a viscous gum upon contact with water. The ActivHeal Alginate dressing gels and conforms to a wound’s surface, absorbing exudate while maintaining a moist environment for the injured area.
This dressing is ideal for moderately/heavily exuding wounds, including diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, abrasions and lacerations, post-operative surgical wounds, and partial thickness burns.
- ActivHeal Aquafiber Ag
This dressing is made with a non-woven pad containing mannuronic acid, calcium alginate, and carboxymethylcellulose. Moreover, it is enriched with silver ions, which are released upon contact with wound fluid.
The high silver content of Aquafiber Ag makes it ideal for partial to full-thickness wounds with moderate to heavy exudates, such as leg ulcers, trauma wounds, and post-operative wounds.
- ActivHeal Hydrocolloid
Hydrocolloids, with waterproof properties that create a matrix over a wound and act as a scab, are some of the most widely used dressings. These dressings allow the body to retain moisture, generally indicated for pressure ulcers, abrasions, and lacerations.
- ActivHeal Silicone
ActivHeal Silicone Foam Border dressings consist of several parts: a low-friction waterproof polyurethane (PU) film, a highly absorbent PU pad, and a silicone adhesive layer for wound contact. The final element prevents the dressing from sticking to the injured area, reducing pain during removal.
These dressings may be used throughout the wound healing process, typically indicated for surgical wounds, trauma wounds, skin abrasions, and other injuries with moderate to heavy exudate.
Make sure to purchase your ActivHeal dressings from a trusted wound care product supplier in the UK.
