Convatec Aquacel Ag+ Extra Dressing - Box of 10

🔷 Product Overview

The AQUACEL® Ag+ Extra Dressing from Convatec combines advanced wound fluid management with powerful antimicrobial and anti-biofilm protection. Designed for wounds that are infected or at risk of infection, this innovative dressing addresses three major barriers to wound healing: exudate, infection, and biofilm.

Featuring proven Hydrofiber® Technology and exclusive MORE THAN SILVER™ Technology, AQUACEL® Ag+ Extra absorbs and locks in wound fluid, bacteria, and biofilm while delivering sustained antimicrobial activity. The dressing transforms into a soft cohesive gel that conforms closely to the wound bed, helping maintain an optimal moist healing environment and supporting patient comfort during wear and dressing changes.

With enhanced strength and absorbency compared to previous AQUACEL® Ag dressings, AQUACEL® Ag+ Extra is an ideal solution for managing moderate to heavily exuding wounds requiring advanced antimicrobial protection.

🔷 Key Features Breakdown

Hydrofiber® Technology

Hydrofiber® Technology absorbs and locks in excess wound fluid while closely conforming to the wound bed. This helps maintain moisture balance, reduce dead space, and support the body's natural healing process.

MORE THAN SILVER™ Technology

Combines ionic silver, a surfactant, and a metal chelating agent to target biofilm and provide broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection.

Enhanced Strength & Absorbency

AQUACEL® Ag+ Extra is significantly stronger and more absorbent than original AQUACEL® Ag dressings, helping maintain dressing integrity during wear and removal.

Comfortable Gel Formation

As exudate is absorbed, the dressing forms a soft cohesive gel that helps protect newly formed tissue and reduce discomfort during dressing changes.
