AQUACEL™ Ag Foam Foam Wound Dressing

AQUACEL™ Ag Foam Foam Wound Dressing

AQUACEL™ Ag Foam Foam Dressing is the only silver-containing foam dressing that combines the healing benefits of the AQUACEL™ Ag wound contact layer, the patient comfort of the foam, and the powerful antimicrobial effect of ionic silver.

Waterproof and Bacteria Barrier

• Allows excess moisture to evaporate
• Creates a waterproof barrier against viral and bacterial penetration

This structure creates a safe healing environment by protecting the wound against external contamination.

Soft Absorbent Foam Pad

The soft foam pad improves patient comfort by absorbing excess fluid and helps keep the wound area drier.

Silicone Adhesive Technology

The delicate silicone adhesive is designed to adhere to the surrounding healthy skin, not the wound bed. In this way, it provides both safe and comfortable use.

AQUACEL™ Ag Wound Contact Layer

When it comes into contact with wound exudate, it gels and creates a moist wound environment. This structure provides a controlled microenvironment that supports healing.

• Traps exudate including harmful components
• Helps manage pain by providing a moist wound environment
• Vertical absorption prevents liquid from spreading to the sides
• Helps reduce the risk of maceration
• Minimizes dead spaces where bacteria can multiply

Ionic Silver Technology

Ionic silver provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity as shown in in vitro studies. It helps destroy bacteria, including some antibiotic-resistant microorganisms.
