The ACTISORB Silver 220 Activated Charcoal Dressing is designed for clinicians and patients managing complex wounds that require odor control and antimicrobial protection. By combining a highly absorbent activated charcoal layer with embedded silver, it excels at neutralizing unpleasant odors and eliminating trapped bacteria to facilitate better healing outcomes. While highly effective for chronic wounds like diabetic ulcers, it is important to note that this dressing is primarily designed for management of specific wound types and requires a professional assessment to ensure compatibility with your specific wound care regimen.

It is generally recommended to use the dressing as provided to ensure the structural integrity of the silver and charcoal layers, but consult your clinician for specific instructions regarding sizing.
Frequency is determined by your clinician based on the level of wound exudate and the state of the wound healing process.
If you have a known sensitivity to silver or any of the dressing materials, consult your physician before use.
No, this is a specialized wound dressing and does not provide therapeutic compression. It must be secured with an appropriate secondary bandage.
The dressing should be kept dry. If you plan to shower, ensure you use a waterproof secondary covering, though it is best to avoid direct water exposure to the dressing.
Ensure that the charcoal layer has not been saturated by too much wound exudate or blocked by thick ointments. Increase the frequency of dressing changes.
Apply a non-adherent contact layer between the wound and the ACTISORB dressing to prevent trauma during removal.
To apply the ACTISORB Silver 220 dressing, first cleanse the wound area according to your medical provider's instructions. Ensure the skin around the wound is dry. Place the dressing directly over the wound bed with the dark, charcoal-side facing the wound. Secure the dressing with an appropriate secondary bandage or medical tape that allows for sufficient breathability.
Compatibility with other topicals should be cleared by a healthcare professional, as certain creams or ointments may coat the charcoal and render it ineffective. To care for the dressing, keep it dry and change it at intervals recommended by your clinician based on the amount of drainage. Always store the unopened, sterile pouches in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
