Aquacel Ag Burn Hydrofiber Dressing

Convatec Aquacel Ag Glove Size Hydrofiber Burn Dressing Overview

Convatec Aquacel Ag Rectangle Burn Dressing helps heal burn wounds with silver-embedded, absorbent fabric that takes in wound fluid and kills bacteria. The Aquacel Ag Burn Dressing also creates a soft gel that allows the dressing to gently and closely conform to the wound, which minimizes the development of bacteria. Vitality Medical offers a wide range of wound dressings in all varieties, including calcium alginate, odor control, hydrocolloid, and more.

Manufacturer's Description

The AQUACEL® Ag BURN Hydrofiber® Dressing Reinforced with Nylon, silver-impregnated, antimicrobial, absorbent dressing is a soft, sterile, non-woven hydroentangled dressing comprised of Hydrofiber (sodium carboxymethylcellulose) with nylon thread used to stitch bond the product along the length. The dressing contains 1.2% w/w ionic silver. The silver in the dressing kills a broad spectrum of wound bacteria. This dressing absorbs high amounts of wound fluid and bacteria and creates a soft, cohesive gel that intimately conforms to the wound surface, maintains a moist environment and aids in the removal of non-viable tissue from the wound (autolytic debridement).
