Aquacel AG+ Extra Silver Hydrofiber Wound Dressings Please note quantities refer to the number of single dressings and not packs 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 ro 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. In addition, AQUACEL Ag+ Ribbon dressing may be used for cavity and deep wounds including sinus, undermining and tracking wounds
