Argentum Medical acquires Anacapa Technologies

Argentum Medical, a Shore Capital-backed medical device leader and pioneer of silver-plated nylon technology, today announced the acquisition of Anacapa Technologies’ antimicrobial wound cleansers, gels and irrigation product lines. Anacapa Technologies is a market leader and innovator in the formulation of antimicrobial wound care products. Argentum Medical acquired Anacapa Technologies to expand and enhance their wound-care portfolio with the addition of Anasept and Silver-Sept product lines.

Argentum Medical already provides a leading wound-care portfolio, consisting of Silverlon antimicrobial silver-plated nylon dressings and TheraBond 3D wound, surgical site and burn care dressings. To complement its current product portfolio, Argentum Medical will integrate Anacapa Technologies’ Anasept and Silver-Sept antimicrobial wound cleansers, gels, and irrigation solutions with its current wound-care offering (all brand names will remain the same):

Argentum Medical current portfolio
Silverlon wound care dressings are critical in helping to prevent infection in surgical, wound or burn victims. Silverlon antimicrobial silver-plated dressings have 50 to 100 times more metallic silver ions than other silver-impregnated dressings. Multiple, peer-reviewed, published clinical studies show the significant benefits of Silverlon in a wide variety of wound settings, including surgical, negative pressure, burn, skin graft, and IV and catheter-related wounds. 

TheraBond 3D wound care controls bioburden and minimizes maceration, TheraBond 3D surgical site care provides antimicrobial protection in a variety of post-op scenarios, and TheraBond 3D burn care utilizes unique capillary-like technology to transfer excess fluid away from burns to an outer absorbent dressing.
