Aquacel Wound Dressing Features
- Unique gel action that enables the dressings to lock moderate to highly exuding wounds
- Fibers do not gel in contact with the fluid so that they maintain their integrity and become encompassed by the gel, providing additional strength and aiding the easy removal
- Controlled release of ionic silver as wound exudate is absorbed into the dressing
- Sustained antimicrobial activity for up to 14 days
- The addition of ionic silver provides rapid, effective, sustained antimicrobial activity
- Kills a broad spectrum of wound-related bacteria
- The reservoir of silver ions in the Hydrofiber Dressing for on-demand activity is enough to kill a clinically relevant level of bacteria within 30 minutes
