Designed to fill deep wounds, tunnels, or irregular wound beds, this latex-free product delivers enhanced coverage and direct contact with the wound surface, optimizing the healing environment and reducing bacterial burden.
Key Benefits
The ColActive PLUS Powder with Silver offers dual-action supportcollagen-driven wound repair and antimicrobial defense from ionic silver. Collagen supports granulation and tissue regeneration, while EDTA inhibits matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that often delay wound healing. The added silver provides broad antimicrobial activity, helping control infections from resistant bacteria including MRSA and VRE.
Its powder form allows clinicians to manage hard-to-reach wound sites with precision. The sterile, single-use packaging ensures safe, contamination-free application, while the latex-free formulation makes it suitable for patients with sensitivities.
Compatibility and Applications
The Hartmann 10160002 dressing is compatible with standard secondary dressings such as gauze, foams, non-adherent pads, or transparent films. It is used in the treatment of moderate to heavily exudating wounds, especially those prone to infection or showing signs of biofilm.
This product is ideal for diabetic foot ulcers, pressure injuries, venous leg ulcers, surgical wounds, and post-debridement wounds. It is commonly used in hospitals, wound care centers, long-term care facilities, and home healthcare settings.
Usage Guidelines
To apply, cleanse the wound thoroughly with an appropriate wound cleanser or per facility protocol. Dispense the 1-gram pouch of ColActive PLUS Powder with Silver evenly across the wound bed, including into any undermining or tunneling areas. Avoid overpacking. Cover with a suitable secondary dressing.

Comparison with Competitor Products
Unlike basic collagen or silver dressings, the ColActive PLUS Powder with Silver combines five clinically effective components: collagen, silver, alginate, CMC, and EDTA. This multi-action formula is engineered to reduce MMP activity, fight microbial infection, and promote granulation tissue development.
Its powder format enhances coverage and performance in difficult wound geometries, setting it apart from sheet-type dressings or silver-impregnated foams that may not conform as well to complex wounds.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This product is used by wound care nurses, physicians, podiatrists, and surgeons across a wide range of care settings. It is especially effective for patients with chronic or hard-to-heal wounds, those with a high risk of infection, or those recovering from debridement or surgical procedures.
It is ideal for wound care programs in acute care hospitals, outpatient wound clinics, skilled nursing facilities, and home healthcare environments with clinical oversight.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store the product in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. Open only at the time of use to maintain sterility. Apply using sterile gloves and instruments. Do not re-sterilize or reuse the contents of a pouch.
