ConvaTec Aquacel Ag Extra Hydrofiber Wound Dressing 4inch x 5inch (x)

Measuring 4 inches by 5 inches, this innovative dressing combines ConvaTec’s proprietary Hydrofiber technology with ionic silver, providing enhanced antimicrobial protection and superior fluid management. Ideal for both acute and chronic wounds, Aquacel Ag Extra is a crucial component in modern wound care management, offering patients and healthcare professionals a reliable, effective option for wound healing.

Key Features

1. Hydrofiber Technology:

Aquacel Ag Extra Wound Dressing utilizes advanced Hydrofiber technology, which transforms into a soft gel upon contact with wound exudate. This unique property enables the dressing to conform closely to the wound bed, maintaining a moist environment that is conducive to healing. The gel formation minimizes dead space where bacteria can proliferate, reducing the risk of infection and facilitating faster wound closure.

2. Ionic Silver for Antimicrobial Action:

Incorporated with ionic silver, Aquacel Ag Extra provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection against a wide range of pathogens, including bacteria and fungi. The sustained release of ionic silver offers ongoing antimicrobial activity for up to seven days, helping to reduce the bioburden in infected or at-risk wounds and prevent biofilm formation.

3. Superior Fluid Management:

The dressing’s Hydrofiber technology offers superior fluid management, capable of absorbing and retaining large amounts of wound exudate. This prevents maceration of the surrounding skin and ensures that the dressing remains intact and effective, even under conditions of heavy exudation. The high absorption capacity reduces the need for frequent dressing changes, improving patient comfort and convenience.

4. Extra Strength and Durability:

Aquacel Ag Extra is twice as strong and 39% more absorbent than standard Aquacel Ag dressings. The reinforced design ensures durability and stability, making it suitable for use on wounds with varying exudate levels and ensuring the dressing stays in place during movement.

5. Versatile and Easy to Use:

This dressing is easy to apply and can be cut to fit different wound shapes and sizes, making it versatile for various clinical scenarios. It is suitable for use under compression bandaging and can be used on a variety of wound types, including leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, and traumatic wounds.
