Aquacel AG+ Extra Silver Hydrofiber Wound Dressings

AQUACEL Ag+ dressings comprise two powerful technologies working synergistically to manage the key local barriers to wound healing - exudate (weeping fluid), infection and biofilm.

Ag+ Technology is a unique ionic silver-containing, antibiofilm formulation that:

Disrupts and beaks down biofilm slime to expose bateria
Kills a broad spectrum of bacteria, including antibiotic resistant superbugs, with its reservoir of silver
prevents biofilm formation

Hydrofiber Technology helps create an ideal environment for healing and for Ag+ Technology to work.

Locks in excess exudate, bacteria and biofilm to help minimise cross infection and prevent maceration
Micro contours to the wound bed, maintaining optimal moisture balance and eliminating dead spaces where bacteria and biofilm can grow
Responds to wound conditions by forming a cohesive gel, while helping to minimise pain associated with dressing changes

AQUACEL Ag+ Extra dressing may be used for the management of:

wounds as a barrier to bacterial penetration of the dressing as this may help reduce infection
wounds where there is an infection or an increased risk of infection (Extra™ only);
diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers, (venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers and leg ulcers of mixed aetiology) and pressure ulcers/sores (partial & full thickness);
Surgical wounds
Traumatic wounds
wounds that are prone to bleeding, such as wounds that have been mechanically or surgically debrided;
oncology wounds with exudate, such as fungoides-cutaneous tumors, fungating carcinoma, cutaneous metastasis, Kaposi’s sarcoma, and angiosarcoma
wounds where bacteria are a suspected cause of (or a factor in) chronicity /non-progression.
