Aquacel Ag + Extra 10x10cm Silver

AQUACEL® Ag+ Extra™ dressings are cutting-edge antimicrobial primary dressings specifically formulated to manage infected wounds or those at high risk of infection. Utilising the powerful combination of Hydrofiber™ Technology and Ag+ Technology , these dressings are uniquely equipped to overcome three key obstacles to healing: excess exudate, infection, and biofilm formation . The core of this innovation lies in a specialized ionic silver formulation , which not only provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial action but also helps disrupt and prevent the re-establishment of biofilms —complex microbial communities that often hinder healing in chronic wounds. Built for enhanced performance, AQUACEL® Ag+ Extra™ is made of two reinforced layers of Hydrofiber™ material, stitch-bonded to deliver nine times the strength and 50% greater absorbency than standard AQUACEL® Ag dressings. This design makes it highly effective in managing heavily exuding wounds while maintaining integrity during use. Key Technologies BEC (Surfactant) – Lowers biofilm surface tension, improving access to antimicrobial agents EDTA (Chelating Agent) – Breaks down the biofilm’s protective matrix by removing stabilizing metal ions Ionic Silver (1.2%) – A powerful, broad-spectrum antimicrobial that destroys bacterial DNA, proteins, and enzymes, ultimately preventing replication and growth Together, these components form the MORE THAN SILVER™ technology , a multi-faceted approach that outperforms conventional silver dressings in disrupting and eliminating biofilms. Proven Benefits: Effective against static or deteriorating hard-to-heal wounds , supporting tissue recovery and wound progression Enhances fluid handling capabilities, promoting a healthier wound environment with reduced risk of maceration Clinical Indications: AQUACEL® Ag+ Extra™ is recommended for a variety of complex wounds, including: Leg Ulcers (venous, arterial, and mixed types) Diabetic Foot Ulcers Pressure Ulcers/Injuries Post-Surgical Wounds Traumatic Injuries Malignant Lesions Partial Thickness Burns By combining high absorbency, strength, and targeted anti-biofilm activity, AQUACEL® Ag+ Extra™ sets a new standard for advanced wound care—especially in cases where healing has stalled due to infection or biofilm presence.
