What is ActivHeal®?

ActivHeal® is a range of wound care dressings indicated for use on a variety of chronic and acute wounds. The dressings have been developed to keep the wound moist which creates an ideal wound healing wound environment, protecting the wound and protecting the peri-wound area.

What is moist wound healing?

Moist wound healing was a term coined by Winter (1962) that was discovered when superficial wounds in pigs, covered with polythene, healed nearly twice as quickly as those left to dry and scab. The polythene retained moisture in contact with the wound supporting, epithelial cell migration. The theory of moist wound healing led to the development of many modern day occlusive dressings that provide a moist healing environment.
