Description:

Acticoat Flex is a knitted polyester weave, coated in nanocrystalline silver. The dressing is highly flexible and conformable and stretches to allow patient movement. The open weave design allows easy fluid and wound exudate migration. Acticoat Flex can be used as a wound contact layer with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy including PICO and RENASYS.

If wound has only low levels of exudate, moisten the dressing with water or Intrasite gel (do not use saline) before application.

Features:

• Flexible and comfortable: May help to maintain contact with the wound surface.
• Fast acting: Bactericidal in as little as 30 minutes to help improve healing times, when compared to standard treatment.
• Sustained performance: Acticoat 7 Dressings release sufficient silver to remain active for up to 7 days, potentially creating time and budgetary efficiencies.
• Supports appropriate antimicrobial use: Early intervention with Acticoat Dressings has been shown to help manage wound bioburden, which may reduce the need for antibiotics.

Indications:

• Acticoat Flex 3 and Flex 7 dressings are indicated as antimicrobial barrier dressings for use over partial and full thickness wounds such as burns, surgical sites, pressure injuries, venous ulcers and diabetic ulcers.
• Acticoat Flex 3 and Flex 7 dressings 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.
• Acticoat Flex 3 and Flex 7 dressings may be used as wound contact layers in combination with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) for a period of up to 3 days.
• When in use with NPWT, the wound filler material should be moistened and changed according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Contraindications:

• Do not use on patients with a known sensitivity to silver.
• Do not use on patients during MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) examination. In patients undergoing MRI,
• Acticoat Flex dressings must be removed from the area within the anatomical field being imaged.
• If an Acticoat Flex dressing is being used on an area not within the image field it may remain in place during the MRI.
• Prior to administering radiation therapy, remove Acticoat Flex 3 or Acticoat Flex 7. A new dressing can be applied following each treatment.
