Polyhexanide

ActivHeal PHMB Foam Non-Adhesive

ActivHeal PHMB Foam Non-Adhesive

Sterile antimicrobial wound dressings consisting of a hydrophilic polyurethane foam, which is designed to absorb exudate. The foam contains the antimicrobial substance PHMB, which kills and inhibits the growth of bacteria.

ActivHeal PHMB Foam Silicone Border

ActivHeal PHMB Foam Silicone Border

A soft conformable dressing that is effective against gram negative bacteria, gram positive bacteria and yeast. It contains the antimicrobial substance polyhexanide. The perforated wound contact layers contain a gentle silicone adhesive that provides secure, non-irritating adhesion and supports non-traumatic removal during dressing changes.

ActivHeal Polyhexanide Foam Silicone Border

A sterile dressing containing the antimicrobial substance polyhexamethylene biguanide (Polyhexanide, polyhexanide), which kills bacteria and inhibits its growth. Polyhexanide released in the presence of wound exudate is an effective antimicrobial agent against a broad spectrum of microorganisms. Manages wound exudate and microbial contamination, reducing wound pain during healing. The perforated wound contact layer contains a gentle silicone adhesive that provides secure, non-irritating adhesion and supports non-traumatic removal during dressing changes. The low-friction, waterproof polyurethane film provides a bacterial barrier to the wound.

Actolind Wound Solution

Antimicrobial wound cleansing/irrigating solution containing polyhexanide and poloxamer, applied directly to a wound to aid cleaning and reduce wound bioburden. It is safe and non-toxic and does not need to be irrigated from the wound after use.
