Hartmann 10320000 - ColActive PLUS Ag Silver Collagen Dressing 7" x 7", Sterile, Latex Free, 10/BX

The Hartmann 10320000 ColActive PLUS Ag Silver Collagen Dressing is a high-performance, antimicrobial collagen wound dressing designed for large, chronic, or infected wounds. Measuring 7 inches by 7 inches, this sterile, latex-free dressing is formulated with a synergistic blend of collagen, silver, sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and EDTA to support faster healing while reducing bacterial burden.

Its large surface area and flexible construction make it ideal for full-coverage of wide or irregular wound beds. The addition of ionic silver provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection, making it particularly suited for wounds at high risk of infection or with existing bioburden.

Key Benefits

This dressing offers a dual benefitaccelerating the healing process and preventing infection. The collagen matrix promotes cellular activity and new tissue formation, while EDTA helps inactivate excess matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that impede healing in chronic wounds.

Silver delivers continuous antimicrobial protection against a wide spectrum of pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant strains such as MRSA and VRE. The 7" x 7" size allows clinicians to manage large wounds efficiently with fewer dressing changes, improving workflow and patient comfort.

Compatibility and Applications

The ColActive PLUS Ag Silver Dressing is compatible with standard secondary dressings such as foam, gauze, or non-adherent coverings that help manage exudate and secure the dressing in place. It is commonly used to treat pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, surgical wounds, trauma wounds, and dehisced incisions.

Ideal care settings include hospitals, outpatient wound centers, skilled nursing facilities, and long-term care environments where infection control is critical.

Usage Guidelines

Cleanse the wound according to clinical protocols. Apply the ColActive PLUS Ag Silver Dressing directly over the wound bed, ensuring full contact. Secure with an appropriate secondary dressing based on wound size and drainage.

Dressing changes typically occur every one to three days, or as directed by a physician. Do not use on patients with known sensitivity to silver or collagen without prior clinical review. Refer to the Instructions for Use (IFU) for complete guidance.
