AQUACEL® Ag Foam dressing combines the advanced healing properties of an AQUACEL® Ag contact layer with the cushioning comfort of foam and the antimicrobial effectiveness of ionic silver.

Designed for use as a primary dressing, AQUACEL® Ag Foam can be applied under the guidance of a healthcare professional to manage both acute and chronic wounds that produce exudate and are at risk of infection or already show signs of infection.

Its waterproof, bacteria-resistant outer layer helps regulate moisture vapor transmission while protecting the wound from external contaminants.

The soft foam pad efficiently absorbs excess fluid, while the silicone adhesive border secures the dressing to the surrounding skin without adhering to the wound bed.

At its core, the AQUACEL® Ag interface, featuring Hydrofiber® Technology, transforms into a gel upon contact with wound fluid. This action helps to:

• Lock in exudate, including potentially harmful components

• Maintain an optimal moist environment for healing

• Reduce the risk of skin maceration by limiting fluid spread

• Conform closely to the wound surface, minimizing spaces where bacteria can develop

• Deliver broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, including effectiveness against certain antibiotic-resistant bacteria, through ionic silver
