Aquacel Ag with Silver - 4 x 4.7"

• Dual-purpose antimicrobial dressing
• Absorbs with the power of ionic silver
• Kills a broad spectrum of wound pathogens

AQUACEL Ag is a dual-purpose antimicrobial dressing that absorbs with the power of ionic silver. The AQUACEL Ag kills a broad spectrum of wound pathogens in the dressing that can cause infection - including MRSA and VRE. The AQUACEL Ag is dressing indicated for partial-thickness burns, skin graft and donor sites, postoperative wounds, diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers and pressure ulcers.

AQUACEL® Ag is the first antimicrobial dressing that:

• Provides immediate and sustained antimicrobial activity to kill Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), and other wound pathogens in the dressing
• Offers the unique gelling properties of Hydrofiber® technology to gel on contact with the wound fluid creating a large fluid-absorption capacity
• Locks bacteria within the gelled AQUACEL® Ag fibers away from the wound bed

AQUACEL® Ag contains the power of ionic silver

• Kills a broad spectrum of wound pathogens in the dressing including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE)
• Prevents colonization in the dressing, killing microorganisms that can cause infection
• Provides an effective barrier to bacterial penetration to help reduce infection

The Hydrofiber® technology in AQUACEL® Ag

• Designed to allow for non-traumatic dressing removal
• Will not stick to wounds unlike saline or antiseptic-soaked gauze that can be traumatic to remove
• Can be easily removed in a single piece
• May lead to early discharge with dressing changes in the patient's home
• Leaves minimal residue in the wound bed

AQUACEL® Ag helps protect wounds

• Designed to avoid new tissue damage caused by dressing adhesion
• Provides a moist wound-healing environment that supports healing

AQUACEL® Ag is indicated for use on acute and chronic wounds

• Partial-thickness burns (second degree burns) on children and adults
• Skin graft and donor sites
• Surgical wounds
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Leg ulcers
• Pressure (decubitus) ulcers
