ColActive PLUS Ag, Sterile, Collagen Matrix Dressing Powder With Silver, 1 gram

• ColActive PLUS Ag Powder is made with the same properties as ColActive PLUS Powder and contains silver chloride as an effective antimicrobial intended to prevent colonization within the product to help minimize the risk of infection
• Once a ColActive PLUS Ag Powder is in place, the EDTA removes zinc to inhibit the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)
• Ideal for use in managing irregularly shaped wounds, including tunnels
• Prevents the formation of and breaks up existing biofilm
• Uses a fish-based collagen source, as opposed to bovine, which helps attract harmful excess MMPs from the wound
• EDTA in the dressing deactivates MMPs by binding with zinc ions
• CMC conforms to wound and supports a moist environment.
• Alginate absorbs exudate containing excess MMPs
• Provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity through 5% ionic silver
• ColActive PLUS Ag Powder is indicated for the management of full- and partial-thickness wounds, including Pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, ulcers caused by mixed vascular etiologies, venous ulcers, donor and graft sites, abrasions, traumatic wounds healing by secondary intention, dehisced surgical wounds, first- and second-degree burns
• ColActive PLUS Ag Powder should not be used on third-degree burns or patients with a known allergy or sensitivity to animal-derived collagen, silver, or any other ingredient listed
