Bioactive dressings are special wound dressings designed to promote the healing process by creating an optimal environment for wound healing. They primarily maintain moisture balance, prevent infections, promote tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation. These dressings are enriched with active ingredients such as antimicrobials, growth factors and collagen that accelerate cell proliferation and promote the formation of new blood vessels, resulting in faster wound closure and healing.
