Activheal PHMB Foam Adhesive Dressing 15cm x 15cm

This PHMB Foam dressing has Raponic technology and is a safe, fast and efficient antimicrobial foam dressing designed to support wound healing. Raponic technology was developed to provide effective antimicrobial performance.

This foam dressing contains polyhexamethylene biguanide, which kills and inhibits the growth of bacteria, reducing pain during healing. The non-cytotoxic action prevents damage to newly formed tissue.

PHMB Adhesive Foam dressing is an antimicrobial wound dressing consisting of a hydrophilic polyurethane foam, which is designed to absorb exudate.

This is laminated to a pink, low-friction, waterproof polyurethane film, which provides a bacterial barrier to the wound.

The wound contact layer side of the dressing has a clear perforated film that protects the wound bed from adhering to the dressing by preventing granulation tissue from entering the foam's pores, thereby reducing trauma during dressing removal.

Who is this for?

Ideal for use on moderate to heavily exuding chronic and acute wounds that are infected or are at risk of infection. They may be used on pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, foot ulcers, diabetic ulcers and surgical wounds.
