ColActive® Plus Ag Antimicrobial Collagen Dressing for Moderately to Heavily Exuding Chronic and Acute Wounds 4" x 4"

Description: 

ColActive® Plus Ag is an advanced wound care matrix designed to actively manage the wound environment and promote natural healing. This powerful dressing combines purified collagen, highly absorbent fibers (sodium alginate and CMC), and broad-spectrum ionic silver. Upon contact with wound exudate, it forms a soft, conformable gel that maintains a moist healing environment, absorbs excess drainage, and effectively targets common barriers to healing like elevated protease activity and microbial presence. It is the ideal solution for complex wounds requiring both active biological support and strong antimicrobial protection.

Feature:

• Promotes Natural Healing: Facilitates the body's innate wound healing processes by providing a supportive collagen matrix.

• Manages MMP Activity: Contains EDTA and collagen to target and deactivate elevated matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which can disrupt healing.

• Superior Absorption: Alginate and carboxymethylcellulose absorb up to twenty times the dressing's weight in exudate, managing moisture for optimal closure.

• Powerful Antimicrobial Protection: Ionic silver chloride provides a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity to help reduce bioburden in the wound bed.

• Versatile Application: Can be easily trimmed or layered to fit the exact wound size and manage deep wounds, tunnels, and undermining.

• Indicated For: Partial and full-thickness wounds including pressure, diabetic, and venous ulcers, graft sites, traumatic wounds, surgical dehiscence, and 1st & 2nd degree burns.

• Contraindications: Not for use on third-degree burns or patients with known sensitivity to collagen, silver, or other listed ingredients.

How to Use:

1. Cleanse and debride the wound with an appropriate cleanser or distilled water.

2. Cut the dressing to match the exact wound size and dimensions.

3. Apply directly to the wound bed. For dry wounds, pre-moisten the bed with distilled water to initiate gelling.

4. Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing.

5. Change daily or as clinical condition indicates.

Care and Removal:
Gently remove the secondary dressing and carefully lift the ColActive® Plus Ag matrix to avoid disturbing fragile tissue. Cleanse the wound site before applying a new dressing.
