ActivHeal Foam Adhesive

A two-layer dressing consisting of a polyurethane bacterial barrier membrane with a centrally located hydrophilic pad and an acrylic adhesive border

Indications

Moderately to heavily exuding chronic wounds. Can be used throughout the healing process on the following wounds: pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, lacerations, adhesions, graft and donor sites, postoperative surgical wounds, superficial- and partial-thickness burns. Can be used on cavity wounds as a secondary dressing and under compression bandages.

Contraindications

Surgical implantation. Do not use on individuals with a known sensitivity to polyurethane films, foams or acrylic adhesives. Do not use with oxidising solutions such as a hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide, as these can break down the absorbent polyurethane component of the dressing.
