Products

Aquacel Ag+ Extra

Soft, sterile non-woven dressing made from two layers of 1.2% ionic silver-impregnated Hydrofiber; sodium carboxymethylcellulose and enhanced with 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.

Aquacel Ag+ Ribbon Dressing

Soft, sterile non-woven ribbon dressing made from a layer of 1.2% ionic silver-impregnated Hydrofiber (sodium carboxymethylcellulose) and enhanced with anti-biofilm technology, stitched together with cellulose strengthening fibres. Absorbs wound fluid, disrupts and breaks down biofilm to expose and kill bacteria, while preventing biofilm reformation.

Aquacel Extra

Soft, sterile, non-woven pad or ribbon dressing composed of Hydrofiber (sodium carboxymethyl­cellulose). Absorbs wound fluid and transforms into a soft gel. Provides nine times stronger tensile strength and greater absorption compared with Aquacel.

Aquacel Foam

Adhesive and non-adhesive sterile Hydrofiber foam dressings consisting of a waterproof outer polyurethane film and a multi-layered absorbent pad. The adhesive version has a silicone adhesive border. The multilayer absorbent pad contains a layer of polyurethane foam and a non-woven layer of Hydrofiber (sodium carboxymethylcellulose).

Aquacel Foam Pro

Sterile sodium carboxymethylcellulose and foam wound dressing consisting of a waterproof outer polyurethane film and layers of polyurethane foam, Hydrofiber (sodium carboxymethylcellulose) and perforated silicone adhesive

Aquacel Ribbon

Soft, sterile, non-woven, Hydrofiber (sodium carboxymethylcellulose) ribbon dressing with stitch-bonded fibres to increase tensile strength. Absorbs wound fluid and transforms into a soft gel.

Aquacel Surgical Cover Dressing

Conformable cover dressing formed of a soft, sterile, non-woven pad of sodium carboxymethylcellulose with a waterproof polyurethane film backing and hydrocolloid adhesive

Asepsis

Sterile aseptic dressing pack. Contains: 5 × non-woven swabs, 1 × pair nitrile gloves, 1 × disposal bag, 1 × sterile field, 1 × paper hand towel, 1 × clear tray. Latex-free.

Askina Calgitrol Ag

Askina Calgitrol matrix formulation combines calcium alginate and silver alginate with 10% of bounded water. In contact with exudate, alginate matrix forms a soft gel, which enables the continuous release of silver ions from the entire dressing surface. The concentration of silver ions in the wound is maintained for 7 days at the level of 60ppm.

Askina Calgitrol Paste

Conformable paste composed of the same ionic silver alginate matrix as used in the Askina Calgitrol Ag flat dressing
