Product details

AQUACEL™ Ag Advantage SURGICAL cover dressings are sterile, post-operative dressings comprising an inner (wound contact) non-woven pad composed of 1.2% ionic silver impregnated sodium carboxymethylcellulose fiber with added Ethylene-diaminetetraacetic Acid Disodium Salt (EDTA) and Benzethonium Chloride, stitched with nylon and elastane
The pad is held in place between a top layer of Hydrocolloid bound to an outer polyurethane film, and a windowed skin contact hydrocolloid layer
The outer polyurethane film layer of the AQUACEL™ Ag Advantage SURGICAL cover dressings range provides a bacterial and viral barrier to reduce the risk of infection provided the dressing remains intact and there is no leakage
The silver in the dressing kills microorganisms held within the dressing; these include bacteria, yeasts and mold, and provides an antimicrobial barrier to protect the wound bed
The highly absorbent central Hydrofiber™ pad absorbs and retains serosanguinous leakage and transforms into a soft gel, which maintains a moist environment to support the body’s healing process
The hydrocolloid component of the dressing provides secure, skin friendly adhesion and supports non traumatic removal of the dressing while minimizing damage to the intact surrounding skin
AQUACEL™ Ag Advantage SURGICAL cover dressings range have a waterproof, bacterial and viral barrier which is designed to conform to changes in the wound/incision geometry during body movement and post operative edema
