Which Way Does Acticoat Go

Apply the ACTICOAT 7

Is ACTICOAT silver side down?

Apply the ACTICOAT* Dressing to the wound surface, either side down. Cover the dressing with an appropriate secondary dressing. If the dressing dries and adheres to the wound, moisten or soak the dressing prior to removal.

How do you wet ACTICOAT dressing?

If the dressing is dry use tap water, sterile water, or distilled water to moisten it. Do not use well water or normal saline. You may use a clean spray bottle to moisten the Acticoat®. An absorbent gauze dressing is kept on top of Acticoat® to help keep it damp.
