Product Information

Full details

The Aquacel Ag+ Extra Silver Hydrofiber Wound Dressing is a specialized clinical-grade solution designed for healthcare providers and patients managing chronic or acute wounds that are infected or at high risk of infection. By utilizing advanced Hydrofiber technology, the dressing effectively traps exudate and delivers consistent antimicrobial silver ions to support a moist healing environment. While highly effective at managing complex wound beds, users must note that this is a primary dressing that requires a secondary cover to stay securely in place.

FAQs

Can I cut this dressing to fit my wound?

Yes, you can cut the 10cm x 10cm dressing to fit the specific shape and size of your wound.

How long can this dressing stay on the wound?

It can be left in place for up to 7 days, depending on the volume of wound exudate.

Do I need a prescription to use this?

This is a medical-grade wound care product; it is recommended to use under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

Is this dressing waterproof?

No, the Aquacel Ag+ dressing itself is not waterproof and requires a secondary cover to prevent moisture or debris from entering the wound.

Can this be used on dry wounds?

No, this product is designed for wounds with exudate; it will not function correctly on dry or non-exuding wounds.

Troubleshooting

Dressing is difficult to remove

If the dressing appears dry or stuck, moisten it with sterile saline and wait several minutes to allow the gel to reform before gently lifting.

Skin irritation around the wound

Ensure the dressing does not overlap onto healthy skin, or use a skin barrier film to protect the periwound area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective at managing bioburden in infected wounds
  • Maintains structural integrity for easier removal
  • Gel-forming action prevents wound bed trauma
  • Provides continuous antimicrobial protection for up to 7 days

Cons

  • Requires a secondary dressing for fixation
  • Not suitable for individuals with sensitivity to silver
  • May be more expensive than standard non-antimicrobial dressings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, thoroughly cleanse the wound area with an appropriate saline or wound cleanser according to clinical protocol. Select a size that provides a slight overlap beyond the wound edges. If the wound is deep, the dressing can be folded or lightly packed into the cavity. Ensure a secondary dressing, such as a foam dressing or adhesive border, is used to secure the Aquacel Ag+ in place. Change the dressing if clinical signs of leakage occur or as directed by a healthcare professional, typically every 7 days or sooner depending on the level of drainage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
