Product description
Actilite is a light viscose net
dressing coated with antibacterial Manuka honey & Manuka oil. The
dressing is designed to protect the wound, promote healing and allow the
passage of exudate. The antibacterial effect of Actilite has been
enhanced by combining high grade antibacterial Manuka oil with Manuka
honey. The combination of Manuka honey and Manuka oil has been
demonstrated in-vitro to be effective against a number of major wound
infecting organisms including MRSA, VRE and Providentia stuartii.
