When using Acticoat, the blue side is placed down against the wound because it contains silver, which provides antimicrobial properties. This design allows the silver to effectively permeate the wound bed and combat infection. The blue side also serves as a protective barrier, while the white side absorbs exudate, promoting a moist healing environment. Proper placement ensures optimal therapeutic benefits and enhances healing outcomes.
