It offers the unique gelling properties of Hydrofiber technology with the power of ionic silver. The dressing fibers of Aquacel Ag gel on contact with wound fluid by hydrophilic action. The fibers swell as they lock bacterial exudate away from the wound by vertical wicking1, creating a large fluid absorption capacity2. Aquacel Ag dressing can kill a broad spectrum of wound pathogens in the dressing that can cause infection including MRSA, VRE and pseudomonas aeruginosa and aids in reducing the wound bioburden3. Bacteria and other harmful wound exudate components are locked within the gelled Aquacel Ag dressing fibres1, where the ionic silver contained within the dressing kills them3.Clinical benefitsSupports moist wound healing environmentContains ionic silver which can kill a broad spectrum of wound pathogens that can cause infection - including MRSA, VRE and pseudomonas aeruginosa3Absorbs and retains higher levels of exudate than most alginates 4,5,6 and gauze 5Reduces maceration by locking exudate into its fibers and away from the skin7Cohesive gel allows easy, atraumatic removalSoft and conformable allowing intimate contact with the wound surface.
