Description
AQUACEL®Ag + Extra ™
Sterile antimicrobial dressing for infected wounds or at risk of infections, composed of Hydrofiber ™ technology (soft hydrocolloidal fibers of pure sodium carboxymethylcellulose) and Ag + Technology (ionic silver, EDTA and benzethonium chloride). This dressing is designed to manage the 3 main barriers to healing: exudate, infection and biofilm. Ag + Technology represents a single formulation containing anti-biofilm silver that:
Eliminates the slimy protective layer of biofilm produced by bacteria. It kills a large array of bacteria, including antibiotic resistant ones thanks to its silver reservoir. Prevents the reformation of the biofilm.
Hydrofiber® Technology helps create an ideal environment for wound healing by optimizing the capabilities of Ag + Technology: It traps exudate, bacteria and biofilm, minimizing the risk of infection and preventing maceration.
It micro-conforms to the wound bed while maintaining a balanced moist environment, minimizing gaps where bacteria and biofilms can proliferate. It interacts with wound exudate, forming a cohesive gel and helping to reduce pain associated with dressing changes.
Composition:
AQUACEL ™ Ag + Extra ™ consists of 2 layers of Hydrofiber ™ Technology sewn together, making it 9 times stronger and 50% more absorbent than the standard version of AQUACEL ™ Ag.
