Smith & Nephew Acticoat Flex 3 Dressing

Consists of a flexible, low adherent polyester layer coated with nanocrystalline silver. It is a highly conformable dressing that follows the body contours to maintain contact with the wound surface. It is low adherent, which helps to minimize wound trauma at dressing changes. Nanocrystalline silver provides an effective barrier to microbial contamination. When tested in-vitro, it demonstrated to have effective antimicrobial barrier properties for up to 3 days against a broad spectrum of wound pathogens.
