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 Silicone Border

A sterile dressing containing the antimicrobial substance polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB, polyhexanide), which kills bacteria and inhibits its growth. PHMB 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. 

 

ActivHeal PHMB Non-Adhesive Foam

ActivHeal PHMB Non-Adhesive Foam

A sterile antimicrobial wound dressing consisting of a hydrophilic polyurethane foam pad designed to absorb exudate and containing the antimicrobial substance polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB, polyhexanide), which kills bacteria and inhibits its growth. The dressing is laminated with a pink, low-friction, polyurethane film. The PHMB is released in the presence of wound exudate. The wound contact layer side of the dressing has a clear, perforated, acrylic film that stops the wound bed from adhering to the dressing. 

ActivHeal Silicone Foam Border

ActivHeal Silicone Foam Border

A sterile absorbent dressing consisting of a hydrophilic polyurethane foam pad, without and without a border. The outer layer comprises a pink, low-friction, waterproof, polyurethane film. The perforated, silicone, adhesive wound contact layer enables exudate uptake and prevents the dressing from sticking to the wound.

ActivHeal Silicone Foam Lite

ActivHeal Silicone Foam Lite

A thin, sterile dressing with a trilaminate structure comprising a polyurethane central foam layer; a permeable, low-friction, waterproof polyurethane film; a wound contact layer with a silicone adhesive-coated perforated film.

ActivHeal Tracheostomy Foam

A sterile, non-adhesive, absorbent dressing with a versatile fenestration that enables it to fit neatly around a tracheotomy tube. The dressing consists of a soft, conformable, hydrophilic, absorbent, polyurethane foam laminated to a pink, low-friction, waterproof polyurethane film that also provides a bacterial barrier.
