Activon Tulle

Activon Tulle is a knitted viscose mesh primary dressing impregnated with 100% medical grade Manuka honey to create a moist healing environment and effectively eliminate wound odour whilst providing antibacterial action. The mesh material is conformable and non-adherent, allowing good wound coverage while reducing pain and trauma on dressing change.

Activon Tulle is ideally suited to debriding and desloughing necrotic wounds to create an optimal healing environment.

Available in a variety of different sizes, Activon Tulle is designed to effectively cover wounds of all sizes.

Instructions for Use

Remove the clear film backing from both sides of the dressing. Place directly onto wound bed either side down, may be cut to size. Cover with a secondary dressing, depending on tissue type within the wound bed and level of exudate.

Frequency of change:

Depending on wound exudate levels, any surrounding interstitialfluid, oedema and dressing regime the dressing may be left in place for up to 7days. Will be less effective when diluted by wound exudate. To maintain an effective honey level, change the dressing when the colour changes significantly. Facilitate removal of the dressing by irrigating the wound bed with saline solution.

Top tip: Activon Tulle is a triple layer knitted viscose net dressing which can be unfolded to decrease the amount of honey if discomfort is being experienced by the patient. Algivon releases honey at a slower rate into the wound therefore may be a solution if discomfort is being experienced by the patient when using Activon Tulle.

• Superficial wounds, partial or full thickness wounds, e.g. cuts and abrasions
