ACTIVELY SAVING YOU TIME AND REDUCING WASTE
NEW ACTIVHEAL PACKAGING
Now more than ever, we understand that choosing the right dressing first time is critical in order to save your time and valuable NHS resources. Following a clinical review carried out by the NHS Clinical Evaluation Team, the ActivHeal® range of dressings underwent a packaging review. We are delighted to say that ALL ActivHeal® products meet the clinical criteria for packaging, instructions for use and disposal.
WE TICK EVERY BOX:
- Product category visible on individual pack and outer packaging
- Size and shape of dressing visible on individual pack without opening
- Product information clearly displayed on packaging
- Instructions for dressing application on individual packaging
- Clear information on whether the dressing can be cut
- You can be confident that you are choosing the right product every time with our new and improved packaging.
The Clinical Evaluation Team criteria also gave guidance on conformability, adhesiveness, wear time, ability to reposition, fluid capacity, ease of removal and disposal of packaging. #HereToHelp
Prevention of facial skin damage caused by PPE
ACTIVHEAL® SILICONE FOAM LITE
Healthcare workers are experiencing facial skin damage from the continuous use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as goggles and face masks. ActivHeal® by Advanced Medical Solutions are here to help.
With the use of a silicone foam dressing and our downloadable cutter guide and instructions, the dressing can be adapted to act as an interface between the skin and PPE, minimising pain and trauma.
Following closely the guidelines of NHS England and NHS Improvement, we have produced the following instructions and cutter guide.
