Aquacel Ag Advantage Ribbon Dressing, Enhanced Hydrofiber, Non Adhesive

AQUACEL Ag Advantage dressings are antimicrobial primary dressings for use in acute and hard-to-heal wounds that are infected or at risk of infection with varying exudate levels. AQUACEL Ag Advantage incorporates two powerful technologies – Hydrofiber and MORE THAN SILVER - that work together synergistically to effectively manage biofilm within the dressing.

AQUACEL Ag Advantage dressings feature two powerful technologies working synergistically to manage the key local barriers to wound healing - exudate, infection and bioburden.

Hydrofiber Technology helps wound healing:

• Absorbs wound ‡fluid and creates a soft gel, maintaining a moist wound environment and helps reduce pain associated with dressing changes.

• Locks in exudate and bacteria to help minimize the harmful effects of maceration and cross infection.

• Micro-contours to the wound bed, eliminating dead space where bacteria can grow.

NEW ADVANTAGE TECHNOLOGY is more than just silver - a unique formulation that enhances the antimicrobial efficacy of ionic silver within the dressing:

• Faster reduction of bacteria within the dressing compared to AQUACEL Ag Extra, and ACTICOAT.

• Kills a broad spectrum of bacteria within the dressing including antibiotic resistant microorganisms.

• Sustained antimicrobial activity in dressing up to 7 days and prevents microbial reformation.
