AQUACEL® Ag+ Extra™ Dressings are advanced antimicrobial wound dressings specifically designed to manage infected or high-risk wounds by combining Hydrofiber™ Technology with Ag+ (ionic silver) Technology. This combination effectively addresses three major barriers to healing: excess exudate, infection, and biofilm formation.

Key features and benefits:

Enhanced Absorbency: Absorbs 50% more fluid than standard AQUACEL® Ag dressings, making it highly effective for moderate to heavy exuding wounds.
Superior Strength: Dual-layer stitch-bonded Hydrofiber® material offers nine times the wet tensile strength, enabling easy one-piece removal and less trauma to wound tissue.
Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial: Ionic silver (1.2%) provides potent antimicrobial action against bacteria, fungi, and viruses, reducing infection risk.
Anti-Biofilm Action: The MORE THAN SILVER™ technology incorporates surfactant (BEC) and chelating agent (EDTA) to disrupt and prevent biofilm formation, a key obstacle to wound healing.
Maintains Moist Environment: Forms a soft, cohesive gel on contact with wound fluid that locks in exudate and harmful components, maintaining a moist environment conducive to healing.
Clinical Use: Suitable for leg ulcers (venous, arterial, mixed), diabetic foot ulcers, pressure injuries, surgical wounds, traumatic injuries, malignant wounds, and partial thickness burns.
Extends Wear Time: Can stay in place for up to 14 days based on clinical evaluation, reducing the need for frequent dressing changes.
Promotes Comfortable Healing: Minimizes pain and disruption during dressing changes by naturally detaching from healing tissue.

AQUACEL® Ag+ Extra™ sets a new standard in antimicrobial wound care by combining powerful infection control with advanced fluid management and dressing strength, supporting optimal healing outcomes especially in compromised wounds.
