Product Description

AQUACEL Ag Dressing

Size: 10cm x 10cm

Quantity: 10 dressings


Product Description
Exudate Management – For moderately to heavily exuding wounds
AQUACEL® Ag Hydrofiber® dressing is Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose with 1.2% ionic silver. It 
offers the unique gelling properties of Hydrofiber® technology with the power of ionic silver. The 
dressing fibres of AQUACEL® Ag gel on contact with wound fluid by hydrophilic action. The fibres 
swell as they lock bacterial exudate away from the wound by vertical wicking, creating a large fluid 
absorption capacity

AQUACEL® Ag dressing can kill a broad spectrum of wound pathogens in the dressing that can 

cause infection including MRSA, VRE and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and aids in reducing the 
wound bioburden


Bacteria and other harmful wound exudate components are locked within the gelled AQUACEL® Ag 
dressing fibres, where the ionic silver contained within the dressing kills them


Application
Before applying, carefully cleanse the wound with saline and dry surrounding skin. Apply directly 
onto the wound leaving an adequate overlap onto the surrounding skin of at least 1cm. When 
using AQUACEL® Ag dressing ribbon in cavity wounds, loosely pack wound to about 80% capacity 
leaving at least 2.5cm outside the wound for easy retrieval. The AQUACEL® Ag dressing should 
then be covered with an appropriate secondary wound care dressing.

Clinical Benefits
• Supports moist wound healing environment
• Contains ionic silver which can kill a broad spectrum of wound pathogens that can 
cause infection – including MRSA, VRE and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
• Absorbs and retains higher levels of exudate than most alginates and gauze
• Reduces maceration by locking exudate into its fibres and away from the skin
• Cohesive gel allows easy, atraumatic removal
• Soft and conformable allowing intimate contact with the wound surface. This reduces “dead space” where bacteria may reside

*AQUACEL® Ag dressing is of the same construction as AQUACEL® dressing with the addition of ionic silver


Indications
AQUACEL® Ag dressing is indicated as a primary dressing for moderately to heavily 
exuding wounds where there is an infection or an increased risk of infection.

• Chronic wounds: leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers and fungating lesions
• Acute wounds: post-surgical wounds, abrasions, lacerations and partial thickness burns
