ColActive® PLUS  Ag 

Collage Matrix Dressing with Silver

ColActive® Plus with Silver is an advanced wound dressing made from collagen, sodium alginate, carboxylmethylcellulose (CMC), and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). ColActive® Plus is a topically applied wound dressing that will transform into a soft gel sheet when in contact with wound exudates. The dressing maintains a moist wound environment that aids in the formation of granulation tissue and epithelialization. The EDTA in the dressing removes zinc to inhibit the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), thus creating a suitable environment for wound healing. ColActive® Plus Ag contains ionic silver for broad spectrum antimicrobial activity.

Composition

Collagen; Alginate; Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC); Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA); Silver (Ag).

Characteristics and Benefits

  • Collagen acts as a sacrificial substrate by attracting metalloproteinases (MMPs).
  • Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid removes zinc by binding to it to selectively and permanently inhibit metalloproteinases (MMPs) and maintain a proper balance between the extracellular matrix proteins (endogenous collagen) and the enzymes that destroy it (MMPs).
  • Alginate and carboxymethylcellulose allow optimal moisture release, aiding the formation of granulation tissue and epithelialisation.
  • Silver chloride prevents microbial colonisation.

Indications

  • Wounds that do not heal properly (dehiscent wounds).
  • Wounds that are slow to heal.
  • Patients with a history of chronic wounds or frequently in-fected wounds.
  • Patients with co-morbidity (diabetes).
