AQUACEL Ag Hydrofiber Dressing: Advanced Wound Care Solution

AQUACEL Ag Hydrofiber Dressing is an innovative wound care solution that combines the unique gelling properties of Hydrofiber technology with the antimicrobial power of ionic silver. Designed to provide superior absorption and broad-spectrum antimicrobial action, this dressing is ideal for managing wounds with moderate to heavy exudate and those at risk of infection. Choose AQUACEL Ag for reliable, effective wound care that ensures optimal healing and protection against infection.

Key Features:

  • Hydrofiber Technology with Silver Ions: Combines the gelling properties of Hydrofiber technology with the antimicrobial power of ionic silver.
  • Superior Absorption: Gels upon contact with wound fluid, swelling to absorb large amounts of exudate.
  • Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Action: Effective against MRSA, VRE, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, reducing infection risk.
  • Moist Healing Environment: Supports optimal wound healing by maintaining moisture balance.
  • Easy Removal: Cohesive gel structure allows for atraumatic removal, minimizing discomfort.
  • Soft and Conformable: Adapts closely to the wound surface, reducing dead space and enhancing healing.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced Infection Control: The inclusion of ionic silver provides robust protection against a wide range of pathogens.
  • Reduced Maceration: Traps exudate within its fibers, keeping it away from the skin to prevent maceration.
  • Versatile Use: Suitable for a variety of wound types, from chronic ulcers to acute surgical wounds.

Usage:

Ideal for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate and those at risk of infection. Perfect for:

  • Chronic wounds: leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and fungating lesions.
  • Acute wounds: post-surgical wounds, abrasions, lacerations, and partial thickness burns.
  • Additional applications: excised abscesses, pilonidal cysts, cavity wounds, sinus tracts, suture lines, burns, abrasions, pin and tube sites, degloving injuries, and circumcision sites.

AQUACEL Ag Hydrofiber dressing contains 1.2% ionic silver and Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose.

To apply the AQUACEL Ag dressing, first, cleanse the wound thoroughly with saline and ensure that the surrounding skin is dry. Apply the dressing directly onto the wound, making sure to leave at least a 1cm overlap onto the surrounding skin. If using the AQUACEL Ag dressing ribbon for cavity wounds, loosely pack the wound to about 80% capacity, leaving at least 2.5cm outside the wound for easy retrieval. Finally, cover the AQUACEL Ag dressing with an appropriate secondary wound care dressing.
