Authors' objectives: To review evidence on the safety, efficacy/effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of BCT™ Antimicrobial Dressing with ACF for wound care.
Authors' recommendations: There was very limited and fair quality of retrievable evidence from the scientific databases to suggest that the use of BCT™ Antimicrobial Dressing with ACF is effective in wound care. There was no report of adverse events on the use of this technology. However, it has been approved by United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) and classified as class II and class IIb medical device in Canada and Taiwan respectively.
