AQUACEL Ag Advantage Antimicrobial Dressing, 10 × 10 cm
AQUACEL® Ag Advantage is an antimicrobial dressing for acute and hard-to-heal wounds that are infected or at risk of infection. It combines Hydrofiber® technology with MORE THAN SILVER™ to help manage biofilm within the dressing.
Key technologies and features
- Hydrofiber® technology rapidly absorbs exudate and transforms it into a soft gel, helping maintain a moist wound environment and reducing discomfort associated with dressing changes.
- Sequesters exudate and bacteria to help reduce the harmful effects of maceration and cross-contamination.
- Conforms to the wound bed, minimizing dead space where bacteria can proliferate.
- NEW ADVANTAGE TECHNOLOGY is more than silver: a unique formulation that enhances the antimicrobial effectiveness of ionic silver within the dressing.
- Faster bacterial reduction within the dressing compared with AQUACEL® Ag Extra and ACTICOAT™.
- Eliminates a broad range of bacteria within the dressing, including antibiotic-resistant microorganisms.
- Sustained antimicrobial activity within the dressing for up to 7 days and inhibits reformation of microbes.
