ConvaTec Aquacel Ag+ Extra Enhanced Hydrofiber Dressing
Aquacel Ag+ Extra is an antimicrobial hydrofiber dressing designed to protect the wound bed, manage exudate, and support infection control. It forms a soft, cohesive gel that intimately conforms to the wound surface, helping maintain a moist environment and assist in the removal of non-viable tissue through autolytic debridement.
Product Features & Benefits
- Provides an antimicrobial barrier to protect the wound bed.
- Absorbs high amounts of wound fluid and bacteria, and is engineered to be 9x stronger and about 50% more absorbent than standard AQUACEL® Ag dressings.
- When in contact with the wound, it creates a soft, cohesive gel that contours to the wound bed, maintains moisture, and aids autolytic debridement.
- The ionic silver in the dressing kills pathogenic microorganisms, including those in biofilms, yeasts, and moulds.
- Disrupts and absorbs biofilm, prevents biofilm formation/reformation, and increases the efficiency of silver transfer to microorganisms.
- Hydrofiber™ Ag+ contains ionic silver (1.2% w/w) within the Hydrofiber® component, offering broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.
- Structured with two layers of Hydrofiber™ technology, stitch-bonded together with Lyocell yarns for enhanced strength and handling.
- Includes excipients to optimize antimicrobial performance: benzethonium chloride (BEC surfactant) and di-sodium EDTA dihydrate (EDTA chelating agent).
- From Aquacel, a trusted brand in wound care, designed to support clinically effective exudate and infection management.
