Hartmann 10160001 - ColActive PLUS Powder Collagen Dressing, 1 Gram, Sterile, Latex Free, 1G/PCH, 10 PCH/BX
The Hartmann 10160001 ColActive PLUS Powder Collagen Dressing is an advanced wound care solution formulated to accelerate healing in challenging wound environments. This sterile, latex-free dressing comes in a 1-gram powder form, making it ideal for filling irregular wound shapes, deep cavities, tunnels, or undermined areas where standard dressings are less effective.
Designed with a proprietary blend of collagen, sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), this powder works to maintain an optimal moist wound environment while actively promoting granulation and tissue regeneration.
Key Benefits
The ColActive PLUS Powder Collagen Dressing offers powerful wound healing support by enhancing cellular activity and moderating harmful protease levels in the wound bed. The fine powder format provides excellent surface contact, ensuring even difficult-to-reach wound areas receive therapeutic benefit.
Its sterile and latex-free design minimizes risk of allergic reactions and cross-contamination. The inclusion of EDTA helps to inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which can delay healing in chronic wounds. This results in faster healing, reduced wound odor, and greater comfort for patients.
Compatibility and Applications
This collagen powder dressing is compatible with a wide range of secondary dressings including foam, gauze, and hydrocolloids. It is widely used in clinical and outpatient settings to manage moderate to heavily exudating wounds that require a high-performance healing agent.
Common applications include diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure injuries, surgical wounds, and complex post-operative wound sitesespecially where wound contours require flexible, moldable coverage.
Usage Guidelines
To apply, cleanse the wound thoroughly per facility protocol. Gently fill the wound bed with the ColActive PLUS Powder using sterile techniques, then cover with an appropriate secondary dressing. Avoid overfilling; apply only enough to cover the wound surface.
Dressings should be changed every one to three days or as instructed by a physician, depending on exudate levels and clinical assessment. For complete usage instructions, consult the product insert or the facility's wound care guidelines.
