Aquacel AG Foam

Foam Dressing With Silver Adhesive

Everything you expect from a foam - and more.

The only silver foam dressing that offers the benefits of AQUACEL® in contact with the wound, the comfort of foam and the bactericidal power of ionic silver. * 1

AQUACEL® Ag Foam offers you:

A waterproof top layer that allows moisture to evaporate, provides a barrier against
viruses and bacteria, * 2 protecting the lesion and allowing the patient to shower or bathe
A soft foam layer that improves patient comfort and absorbs excess fluids
A layer of Hydrofiber ™ with silver ions that gels on contact with exudate and promotes an optimal environment for wound healing
A soft silicone border that ensures a safe and gentle adhesion to the skin, facilitates removal
of the dressing and is shown not to damage the delicate granulating tissue of the wound3

The addition of ionic silver kills a broad spectrum of wound microbes present in the dressing, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria, by:

• Fast and effective antimicrobial action * 1, 4-5
• Controlled release of ionic silver as exudate is absorbed into the dressing * 1, 4-5
• Prolonged antimicrobial activity up to seven days * 1, 4-5

ConvaTec's Hydrofiber ™ technology - the first and best technology with gelling action - confers
to the AQUACEL® dressing formidable properties.
