Using Hydrofiber™ and MORE THAN SILVER™ technologies, AQUACEL® Ag Advantage antimicrobial dressings help create an ideal healing environment for acute and other challenging wounds. Once applied, this antimicrobial wound dressing controls the development and growth of biofilms to better manage infection and absorb exudate.
How AQUACEL® Ag Advantage Antimicrobial Dressings Work
AQUACEL® Ag Advantage dressings help move wounds through the healing stages through a combination of features.
Once the dressing comes in contact with wound exudate, Hydrofiber™ technology helps it transform into a more conformable gel. The dressing better fits into the wound bed to halt bacterial growth and create a moist healing environment.
As the wound absorbs exudate, this consistency allows the dressing to hold onto bacteria, lessen leaking risks to guard against maceration, and provide cleaner, less traumatic removal during dressing changes.
Alone or in conjunction with compression therapy, AQUACEL® Ag Advantage Antimicrobial Dressings help with treating acute and chronic moderate- to high-exudate wounds, including:
Ionic silver, in conjunction with ethylenediaminetetraacetic (EDTA) and BEC (Benzethonium Chloride), enhances the dressing’s antimicrobial action to kill a broad spectrum of existing bacteria and microorganisms, including antibiotic-resistant strains, and prevent new biofilms from forming. Antibacterial action exceeds that of AQUACEL® Ag Extra.
Each dressing provides sustained antimicrobial activity for up to seven days and prevents microbial reformation.
AQUACEL Ag Advantage dressing is an antimicrobial primary dressing for acute and hard-to-heal wounds with varied amounts of exudate that may also be infected or at risk of infection.
AQUACEL Ag Advantage is good for painful, infect wounds, second-degree burns; diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers, pressure ulcers/injuries, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, wounds prone to bleeding, oncology wounds with exudate, mycosis fungoides (cutaneous T-cell lymphoma) tumors, fungating carcinoma, cutaneous metastasis, Kaposi’s sarcoma and angiosarcoma.
Aquacel rope is a hydrofiber primary wound dressing used for packing wounds to absorb exudate and ensure a moist healing environment.
Aquacel Ag can be used for up to seven days of antimicrobial action.
