Aquacel AG Hydrofiber Wound Dressing may be used for abrasions and lacerations. Under the supervision of a healthcare professional, it may be used for the management of wounds as an effective barrier to bacterial penetration to help reduce infection,leg ulcers, pressure ulcers and diabetic ulcers; surgical wounds; and second degree burns that do not exceed a total body surface area larger than 10%.
- The silver in the dressing kills wound bacteria held in the dressing.
- This dressing absorbs high amounts of wound fluid and bacteria and creates a soft, cohesive gel that intimately conforms to the wound surface, maintains a moist environment and aids in the removal of non-viable tissue from the wound (autolytic debridement).
- Moist wound healing environment and control of wound bacteria within the dressing supports the body's healing process and helps reduce the risk of wound infection.
- Aquacel Ag Hydrofiber Wound Dressing with Ionic Silver provides rapid and sustained antimicrobial activity in vitro
