Acticoat Flex 7 Antimicrobial Barrier Dressing
Smith+Nephew
Description
Consists of a flexible, low adherent polyester layer coated with nanocrystalline silver. Highly conformable, following the body contours to maintain contact with the wound surface. The dressings are low adherent, which helps to minimise wound trauma at dressing changes.

May be used on infected wounds. Where the product is used on infected wounds the infection should be inspected and treated as per local clinical protocol.
