Aquacel AG Foam Dressing 5 Pieces harnesses the power of ionic silver to kill bacteria. It effectively absorbs wound exudate (fluids) and maintains a moist wound environment to promote healing.
Benefits of Aquacel Ag Foam
-
Ionic Silver Power: Provides antimicrobial activity to kill bacteria.
-
Multi-layered Protection: Features a soft absorbent foam pad, a gentle silicone contact layer, and a waterproof/bacteria barrier.
-
Advanced Gelling Technology: The contact layer transforms into a gel upon contact with wound exudate, maintaining a moist environment and locking in fluids, including harmful substances.
-
Micro-contouring: Closely conforms to the wound surface, reducing "dead space" where bacteria can grow.
-
Skin-Friendly Adhesive: Supports simple application and removal.
-
High Tolerance: Demonstrated low potential for skin irritation or allergic reactions.
-
Skin Protection: Protects the skin from damage caused by friction and moisture.
