Aquacel Ag+ Extra (10x10cm) 10's

Sold as 1 Box of 10's

AQUACEL^® Ag+ dressings are antimicrobial primary dressings for use in wounds that are infected or at risk of infection. By incorporating Hydrofiber™ Technology and Ag+ Technology, they are designed to manage the 3 key local barriers to healing: Exudate, Infection and Biofilm.

• Composition
• AQUACEL^® Ag+ Extra™ dressing is comprised of 2 layers of Hydrofiber™ Technology stitch bonded together making it 9x stronger and 50% more absorbent than standard AQUACEL^® Ag dressing.
  
  
• Mode of Action
• AQUACEL^® AG+ Extra™ comprise two powerful technologies working synergistically to manage the key local barriers to wound healing: Exudate, Infection and Biofilm.
• Ag+ Technology  is a unique ionic silver-containing, anti-biofilm formulation that:
  - Disrupts and beaks down biofilm slime to expose bacteria
  - Kills a broad spectrum of bacteria with its reservoir of silver
  - Prevents Biofilm formation
  
• Hydrofiber™ Technology helps create an ideal environment for healing and for Ag+ Technology to work.
  - Transforms into a cohesive gel on contact with wound fluid, the gelling action creates an optimal environment for wound healing. 
  - Locks in excess exudate, bacteria and biofilm to help minimise cross infection and prevent maceration
  - 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
  
  
• Indication
• Wounds where there is an infection or an increased risk of infection
  
• 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
• Wounds where bacteria are a suspected cause of (or a factor in) chronicity /non-progression.
