ConvaTec Aquacel Ag Hydrofiber Ribbon Dressing With Strengthening Fiber and Ionic Silver is a versatile primary dressing indicated for moderate to highly exuding chronic and acute wounds. where there is an infection or an increased risk of infection. It is designed for the non-traumatic removal of the dressing without damaging newly formed tissue. The combination of Hydrofiber Technology with ionic silver (Ag+) produces a dressing that is highly absorbent, has favorable gelling characteristics and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.
Hydrofiber Technology is a patented technology in which fibres of high-quality cellulose are carboxymethylated altering its structure to allow better absorbency and retention of fluid. These fibres are then processed to mesh them together to form a stable fleece layer. When exposed to fluid, the fibres swell to form a clear, soft, cohesive gel structure that closely conforms to the wound bed. As the fibres swell, the fluid and its contents (eg bacteria and other inflammatory cells and enzymes) are trapped and held within the dressing. In addition, the gelling action prevents lateral spread of fluid through the dressing to reduce the risk of maceration and promote a moist wound healing environment.
Aquacel Ag should not be used on patients with a known sensitivity to this dressing or any of its components

Silver content or total silver released by a dressing does not necessarily lead to greater antimicrobial activity.

Silver is a proven antimicrobial in the management of infected wounds and wounds at risk of infection, when used in a protocol of care. Proactive use of silver dressings can inhibit the progression of bacterial penetration and can be effective against MRSA and most other superficial pathogens.
