Q: Is ActCel painful to apply? A: No, ActCel requires minimal direct pressure and is painless to apply.
Q: Does ActCel cause skin discoloration? A: No, ActCel is an all-natural product made from cellulose and will not cause skin discoloration.
Q: How many dressings of ActCel should be applied to a surface wound? A: One layer of ActCel should be applied to and completely cover a player's surface wound. The bleeding should stop with the first layer. If bleeding continues then an additional layer may be needed.
Q: Should direct pressure be applied to ActCel when placed on a wound? A: ActCel should be applied to the wound with limited direct pressure. Once ActCel comes in contact with the actively bleeding area, it unites with the blood platelets and expands to three times its original size, therefore creating its own direct pressure.
Q: Is ActCel difficult to remove after a game for suture application? A: No, ActCel can safely and painlessly be removed by rinsing with water or saline solution after the bleeding has stopped.
