Aquacel Ag+ dressings are antimicrobial primary dressings for use in wounds that are infected or at risk of infection. They are designed to manage the 3 key local barriers to healing – exudate, infection and biofilm. Aquacel Ag+ dressings incorporate proven Hydrofiber Technology and Ag+ Technology – a unique ionic silver-containing, antibiofilm formulation. Aquacel Ag+ dressings are available as Aquacel Ag+ Extra and Aquacel Ag+ Ribbon dressings. Aquacel Ag+ Extra dressing is comprised of 2 layers of Hydrofiber Technology stitch bonded together making it 9x stronger and 50% more absorbent than standard Aquacel Ag dressing.

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
