3M Actisorb Silver 220 Activated Charcoal Dressing in Silver is an activated charcoal dressing with silver, enclosed in a non-adherent nylon sleeve. Traps odor while providing an effective barrier to bacterial penetration, which may help reduce infection. Dressings contain pure activated carbon impregnated with a silver (33 and 25 ug/cm2 respectively), enclosed in a non-adherent nylon sleeve. The charcoal traps odor in the dressing and binds bacteria and toxins that impair the healing process. Silver controls a wide range of bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens that can occur in a wound.
