Product Description

Convatec Aquacel Ag Advantage Surgical Advanced Antimicrobial Dressing With Silver, 3.5" x 14" - Replaces 51412012.

Overview - AQUACEL® Ag Advantage Surgical

AQUACEL® Ag Advantage SURGICAL cover dressings are sterile, post-operative dressings comprising an inner (wound contact) non-woven pad composed of 1.2% ionic silver impregnated sodium carboxymethylcellulose fiber with added Ethylene-diaminetetraacetic Acid Disodium Salt (EDTA) and Benzethonium Chloride, stitched with nylon and elastane. The silver in the dressing kills microorganisms held within the dressing, which include bacteria, yeasts, and mold, and provides an antimicrobial barrier to protect the wound bed.

The highly absorbent central Hydrofiber™ pad absorbs and retains serosanguinous leakage and transforms into a soft gel, which maintains a moist environment to support the body’s healing process. The hydrocolloid component of the dressing provides secure, skin friendly adhesion and supports non-traumatic removal of the dressing while minimizing damage to the intact surrounding skin.

Features and Benefits:

• Primary dressing ideal for chronic and acute wounds that are infected or at risk of infection, with varying exudate levels
• Hydrofiber technology helps wound healing by absorbing wound fluid and creating a soft gel, maintaining a moist wound environment, and reducing pain associated with dressing changes
• Locks in exudate and bacteria to help minimize the harmful effects of maceration and cross-infection
• Micro-contours to the wound bed, eliminating dead space where bacteria can grow
• Antibiotic silver is combined with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (ETDA) and benzethonium chloride (BEC) to improve the action of the silver
