Functional description

ACTICOAT FLEX 3 is a highly conformable dressing that follows the body contours to maintain contact with the wound surface. The dressing is low adherent, which helps to minimise wound trauma at dressing changes. Nanocrystalline silver provides an effective anti-microbial barrier to microbial contamination and is also effective against micro-organisms present in the wound, helping to reduce the risk of cross infection.
