Product Description
Actilite is made from knitted viscose for low adherence and coated with anti-bacterial Activon+. The dressing is designed to protect a wound, promote healing and allow the passage of exudate.
Reduction in bacterial colonisation is achieved in a natural way through the antibacterial properties of the Manuka plant.
Actilite has a level of Activon+ honey appropriate for wound protection, the antibacterial effect has been enhanced with the addition of high grade antibacterial Manuka oil (Activon+).
This patented Activon+ technology has been demonstrated in-vitro to be effective against a number of major wound infecting organisms including MRSA, VRE and Providentia stuartii. In the laboratory tests the inhibition of bacteria was demonstrated to be better than a povidone iodine dressing and several silver based dressings.
Use
The hygroscopic effect of Activon+ promotes a moist wound healing environment. The dressing is easy to apply, with honey being naturally self-adherent it will gently adhere to surrounding dry skin but will not adhere to a wound bed.
Apply a secondary dressing of choice, this can be an absorbent dressing or semi-permeable film dressing depending on the nature of the wound.
Actilite Antibacterial Dressing with Activon+ Manuka Honey uses honey which is equivalent to unique medical factor 12, for a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect. It's effective against most wound invading bacteria, including the drug resistant MRSA.
Some natural health products make claims without the evidence to back them up. Advancis Medical’s laboratory tests have shown that dressings based on Activon + Manuka Honey out performed povidone iodine dressings, and several silver based dressings.
Case studies involving Activon demonstrate its effectiveness at promoting healing, improving the appearance of wounds and most importantly, improving the patient’s quality of life.
