Aquacel Ag + Extra 15x15cm Silver

Description

Description

AQUACEL® Ag+ EXTRA™ Dressings are advanced antimicrobial primary dressings specifically designed to help manage wounds that are infected, at risk of infection, or where biofilm is suspected to be a barrier to healing. Developed to be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional, these dressings combine two innovative technologies—Hydrofiber™ and Ag+—to address three key local factors that impede wound healing: excessive exudate, infection, and biofilm.

Key Benefits & Features

• Dual Technology for Superior Healing

  • Incorporates Hydrofiber™ Technology, which transforms into a cohesive gel on contact with wound fluid. This action helps lock in excess exudate, bacteria, and biofilm, thereby maintaining an optimal moisture balance and reducing the risk of maceration and cross-infection.

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

    • Disrupts and breaks down biofilm to expose bacteria.

    • Kills a broad spectrum of pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant strains (superbugs).

    • Helps prevent new biofilm formation.

• Stronger & More Absorbent

  • AQUACEL® Ag+ EXTRA™ is made of two layers of Hydrofiber™ Technology stitch-bonded together, making it 9 times stronger and 50% more absorbent than standard AQUACEL® Ag dressings.

• Micro-Conforming Design

  • Conforms closely to the wound bed, filling dead spaces where bacteria and biofilm could otherwise thrive, while maintaining an environment conducive to healing.

• Comfort & Protection

  • Forms a gentle gel that adapts to wound conditions, helping minimize pain during dressing changes.

Indications for Use

AQUACEL® Ag+ EXTRA™ Dressings are suitable for a wide range of wound types, including:

• Leg ulcers (venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers, and mixed aetiology)

• Diabetic foot ulcers

• Pressure injuries/ulcers
