Antibacterial activity and endotoxin-binding capacity of Actisorb Silver 220.
Actisorb Silver 220 wound dressing demonstrated a high in vitro endotoxin-binding capacity combined with a marked bactericidal activity without releasing Pseudomonas aeruginosa endotoxins into the environment, and so may be beneficial in the treatment of infected wounds, particularly colonization by Gram-negative bacteria.
