Aquacel Ag Foam Adhesive Dressing, Silver-Impregnated, 8cm x 8cm (Pack of 10)

The Aquacel Ag Foam Adhesive Silver-Impregnated Antimicrobial Foam Dressing with a Silicone Adhesive Border, Hydrofiber Contact Layer, and Polyurethane Film Backing is a cutting-edge wound care solution designed for managing moderate to heavily exuding wounds. This advanced dressing provides powerful infection control, enhanced moisture management, and optimal comfort, making it ideal for both chronic and acute wounds, including surgical sites, pressure ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Silver-Impregnated Antimicrobial Technology: The silver ions embedded in the dressing provide effective antimicrobial properties, reducing the risk of infection at the wound site. Silver has long been recognized for its ability to inhibit bacterial growth, making this dressing ideal for wounds at higher risk of infection.

• Silicone Adhesive Border: The silicone adhesive border ensures that the dressing stays securely in place without adhering directly to the wound bed, preventing trauma upon removal. This adhesive is gentle on the skin, minimizing the risk of skin damage and irritation while providing a reliable hold throughout the treatment period.

• Hydrofiber Contact Layer: The Hydrofiber technology in the contact layer absorbs wound exudate and converts it into a gel, maintaining a moist environment that promotes healing, reduces pain, and minimizes the risk of scarring. The gel-forming nature of the Hydrofiber layer helps to prevent leakage and ensures that the wound bed stays hydrated.

• Polyurethane Film Backing: The polyurethane film backing provides a protective barrier against external contaminants such as bacteria, dirt, and moisture. It is also breathable, allowing the wound to "breathe" and reducing the risk of maceration while maintaining optimal moisture levels for healing.

• Comfort and Flexibility: The foam dressing is soft and flexible, allowing it to conform to the wound site for maximum comfort. The dressing adapts to the contours of the body, making it ideal for use on areas with complex shapes or hard-to-dress locations.

• Versatile and Effective for Various Wounds: Whether managing surgical wounds, burns, pressure ulcers, or diabetic foot ulcers, this dressing provides reliable, high-quality care. Its antimicrobial properties make it particularly suitable for wounds that are at risk of infection, while the combination of moisture-wicking and gel-forming technology ensures rapid and effective wound healing.
