Aquacel Ag+ Extra
Silver Convatec

Aquacel Ag+ Extra

Soft, sterile non-woven dressing made from two layers of 1.2% ionic silver-impregnated Hydrofiber; sodium carboxymethylcellulose and enhanced with More Than Silver antibiofilm technology, stitched together with cellulose-strengthening fibres. Absorbs wound fluid, and disrupts and breaks down biofilm to expose and kill bacteria, while preventing biofilm re-formation. Provides nine times stronger tensile strength and 50% greater absorption than Aquacel Ag.

Indications

Primary dressing for moderately to highly exuding wounds that are infected or at increased risk of infection, or where biofilm is suspected to be present. When dressing sinus, tracking or undermining wounds, use Aquacel Ag+ ribbon dressing.

Contraindications

Sensitivity or allergy to dressing or components
