AQUACEL Ag+ dressings comprise two powerful technologies working in synergistically to manage the key local barriers to wound healing - exudate, infection and biofilm.

When your dressing comes into contact with wound fluid, it forms a soft gel to absorb fluid, protect the wound from bacteria, and helps to create a healing environment.

The ionic silver in the dressing kills pathogenic microorganisms and helps reduce the risk of wound infection.

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

• Disrupts and beaks down biofilm slime to expose bacteria
• 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 minimize 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 minimize pain associated with dressing changes

Aquacel Ag+ Extra dressings can generally be worn for up to 7 days, depending on the amount of wound fluid (exudate). 7 days is the standard, though some specific applications may allow longer under medical supervision.
