AQUACEL Extra + AG Silver Dressing

Hydrofiber, hydropolymer, and hydrocolloid wound dressing

The AQUACEL Extra + AG silver dressing is a hydrofiber, hydropolymer, and hydrocolloid dressing. It is made of oxygenated cellulose in the form of a woven gauze.

When it comes into contact with wound fluids, the Aquacel dressing immediately turns into a clear, solid, gel-like layer.

Thanks to its high absorbency (seven times more absorbent than regular gauze), it can hold a large amount of fluid within its fibers while keeping the wound surface moist. This moisture helps create ideal healing conditions.

It promotes angiogenesis and epithelialization, helps remove necrotic tissue (autolysis), has indirect hemostatic properties, soothes burn inflammation, and can be removed easily without damaging newly formed tissue.

It is also the only dressing with vertical absorption of wound fluids, which prevents maceration of the healthy skin around the wound.
