How ColActive Plus Ag Works
An advanced wound care dressing, ColActive® Plus Ag is formulated with a patented blend collagen, sodium alginate, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and silver chloride. Once it comes in contact with the wound fluid, this topically applied dressing transforms into a soft gel sheet that helps create a moist environment for healing, including the formation of granulation tissue and epithelialization.
Once a ColActive Plus Ag dressing is in place, the EDTA removes zinc to inhibit the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), and the silver provides a degree of antimicrobial activity.
This unique combination:
- Helps the wound maintain a consistent pH level without altering plasma proteins, growth factors and other cell types key for healing.
- Prevents the formation of and breaks up existing biofilms.
- Uses a fish-based collagen source, as opposed to bovine.
- Provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity through 5% ionic silver.
- Absorbs up to 20 times its weight in drainage fluid while maintaining an optimal moisture balance for wound closure, thanks to the CMC and alginate.
- Draws in damaging MMPs from the wound. Acting as a chelator, the EDTA facilitates a bond between the MMPs and the zinc ions.

How to Use Colactive Plus Ag Collagen Dressings
- Before application, cleanse and rinse the wound bed using a suitable wound cleanser or distilled water.
- Tailor the dressing to match the precise wound dimensions. If dealing with heavily exudating wounds, place the dressing directly onto the wound bed. For dry wounds with minimal exudate, initiate the gelling process by moistening the wound bed with distilled water.
- Apply an appropriate secondary dressing over the ColActive® Plus Ag.
- Observe the practice of good nursing by changing dressings daily or as required.
