Smith & Nephew launch new Acticoat Flex products in Europe

Smith & Nephew's advanced wound management division has announced the European launch of Acticoat Flex 3 and Acticoat Flex 7, to expand the Acticoat portfolio.

According to Smith & Nephew, the Flex range provides enhanced conformability to better address patient comfort and in utilizing the Silcryst nanocrystalline silver technology, Acticoat Flex products have been designed to support physicians dealing with soft tissue injuries at high risk of infection.

Previously, both Acticoat Flex 3 and Acticoat Flex 7 were cleared for use by Health Canada in late 2008.

Andy Boyes, president of Europe at Smith & Nephew's advanced wound management division, said: "I am delighted that we can now offer our European clinicians this new version of Acticoat. Acticoat Flex will provide a more flexible and conformable option in dressing anatomical areas such as joints and helps manage the risk of infection in patients with serious wounds."
