AQUACEL® Ag SURGICAL

dressing with silver for surgical wound

Medical device CE class III sterilized by gamma rays.
Sterile dressing for surgical wounds, lacerated bruises and abrasions, containing silver ions with antimicrobial activity.
The dressing consists of 3 layers:
- the internal pad, to be placed in direct contact with the suture line, is made up of non-woven fabric containing Hydrofiber® Technology. Thanks to its peculiar weave, the Hydrofiber® pad micro-conforms to the suture line providing adequate patient comfort. Furthermore, in the presence of exudate, the internal swab gels, absorbs and retains the exudate produced, always maintaining the optimal environment necessary for the tissue repair process. The presence of silver ions guarantees a high broad spectrum antimicrobial activity.
- The double foil hydrocolloid component, which contains the Hydrofiber® pad, allows sustained adhesion to the periwound skin while also ensuring the flexibility necessary to minimize the risk of dislocation or detachment of the dressing during movements.
- The external coating layer, consisting of a polyurethane film, protects the wound from contamination and allows the management of the transmission of water vapor deriving from the absorbed exudate.

How to use
It should be used as a primary dressing. Choose the appropriate size, such that the central absorbent pad always covers the entire suture gap. Apply with care making sure the dressing adheres completely to the skin. The dressing should be removed when clinically indicated or in the presence of unmanaged abundant exudate, bleeding, clinical signs of infection, and in any case no later than 7 days from the first application.
