Actilite Dressing 10cm x 10cm (Pack of 10) (3354917)
Actilite is a light, viscose net dressing, coated with 99% Manuka honey & 1% Manuka oil. This Manuka honey dressing is designed to protect the wound, promote healing and allow the passage of exudate.
The antibacterial effect of Actilite has been enhanced by combining high grade antibacterial Manuka oil with Manuka honey. The combination of Manuka honey and Manuka oil has been demonstrated in-vitro to be effective against a number of major wound infecting organisms including MRSA, VRE and Providentia stuartii.
Manuka oil also helps scars and after marks on the skin fade away by promoting new cell growth.
Actilite is ideal for granulating and epithelialising wounds ensuring moisture levels remain low to avoid maceration while still providing a moist wound environment optimal for healing.
Available in six different sizes, Actilite is designed to effectively cover wounds of all sizes.
