Aquacel AG+ Extra 10x10cm (10) Hydrofiber Wound Dressing Aquacel AG+ Extra Silver Hydrofiber Wound Dressing AQUACEL Ag+ dressings comprise two powerful technologies working synergistically to manage the key local barriers to wound healing - exudate, 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 and 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, Kaposis sarcoma, and angiosarcoma; wounds where bacteria are a suspected cause of (or a factor in) chronicity /non-progression.
