Products

ActivHeal Aquafiber Ag

A sterile, non-woven pad consisting of a high M (mannuronic acid) calcium alginate and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Silver ions are released in the presence of wound fluid. As fluid is absorbed, the alginate forms a soft gel. Effective for up to 7 days.

ActivHeal Aquafiber Extra

ActivHeal Aquafiber Extra

Combines two wound-care technologies: carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and alginate fibres. A soft, conformable, highly absorbent dressing that converts into a soft clear gel when in contact with wound exudate. A hidden integrity layer in the dressing aids intact removal. Can remain in situ for up to 7 days.

ActivHeal Foam Adhesive

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

ActivHeal Foam Non-Adhesive

ActivHeal Foam Non-Adhesive

A three-layer construction with a low-friction backing, a soft highly absorbent foam and a perforated wound contact layer

ActivHeal Hydrocolloid

ActivHeal Hydrocolloid

Consists of a thin layer of hydrocolloid laminated to a highly breathable film. Contains a mixture of synthetic polymers and hydrophilic powders, with a high moisture vapour transmission rate film backing. Does not contain animal-derived ingredients.

ActivHeal Hydrocolloid Foam Backed

ActivHeal Hydrocolloid Foam Backed

Consists of a layer of hydrocolloid laminated to a breathable film, and a polyurethane foam backing. Does not contain animal-derived ingredients.

ActivHeal Hydrogel

ActivHeal Hydrogel

Contains 85% water and a collection of polymer chains that are water insoluble. Does not contain animal-derived ingredients.

ActivHeal PHMB Foam Non-Adhesive

ActivHeal PHMB Foam Non-Adhesive

Sterile antimicrobial wound dressings consisting of a hydrophilic polyurethane foam, which is designed to absorb exudate. The foam contains the antimicrobial substance PHMB, which kills and inhibits the growth of bacteria.

ActivHeal PHMB Foam Silicone Border

ActivHeal PHMB Foam Silicone Border

A soft conformable dressing that is effective against gram negative bacteria, gram positive bacteria and yeast. It contains the antimicrobial substance polyhexanide. The perforated wound contact layers contain a gentle silicone adhesive that provides secure, non-irritating adhesion and supports non-traumatic removal during dressing changes.

ActivHeal Polyhexanide Foam Silicone Border

A sterile dressing containing the antimicrobial substance polyhexamethylene biguanide (Polyhexanide, polyhexanide), which kills bacteria and inhibits its growth. Polyhexanide released in the presence of wound exudate is an effective antimicrobial agent against a broad spectrum of microorganisms. Manages wound exudate and microbial contamination, reducing wound pain during healing. The perforated wound contact layer contains a gentle silicone adhesive that provides secure, non-irritating adhesion and supports non-traumatic removal during dressing changes. The low-friction, waterproof polyurethane film provides a bacterial barrier to the wound.
