Smith & Nephew ACTICOAT™ Antimicrobial Barrier Dressing, Silver Coated, 2" x 2"

ACTICOAT™ is a highly effective antimicrobial barrier dressing from Smith & Nephew, featuring SILCRYST™ nanocrystalline silver technology. It delivers a sustained release of silver ions to provide rapid and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against a wide range of wound pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant organisms such as MRSA and VRE.

The 2" x 2" (approximately 5cm x 5cm) size is the smallest format in the ACTICOAT™ range, designed for precise antimicrobial protection on small wounds, targeted areas, and hard-to-reach sites such as toe wounds, finger injuries, and small ulcers where a compact dressing is essential.

Features:

• SILCRYST™ Nanocrystalline Silver: Delivers rapid, sustained release of silver ions for broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection lasting up to 3 days per application.
• Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Activity: Effective against over 150 wound pathogens, including MRSA, VRE, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
• Antimicrobial Barrier: Helps prevent bacterial penetration from the external environment into the wound.
• Compact Size — 2" x 2": Ideal for small wounds, digit injuries, and targeted treatment areas where precision matters.
• Maintains Moist Wound Environment: Supports optimal conditions for wound healing when kept moist.
• Versatile Application: Can be used as a primary or secondary dressing depending on wound type and exudate level.
