STERILE DRESSING WITH HYDROCOLLOID AND POLYURETHANE AQUACEL AG SURGICAL WITH ABSORBENT PAD IN SODIUM CARBOXYMETHYLCELLULOSE FIBERS AND IONIC SILVER 9X30CM 10 PIECES

STERILE DRESSING WITH HYDROCOLLOID AND POLYURETHANE AQUACEL AG SURGICAL WITH ABSORBENT PAD IN SODIUM CARBOXYMETHYLCELLULOSE FIBERS AND IONIC SILVER 9X30CM 10 PIECES

Aquacel Ag Surgical

CE class III medical device sterilized by gamma rays.
Sterile dressing for surgical wounds, lacerated wounds and abrasions, containing silver ions with antimicrobial activity.
The dressing is made up of 3 layers:
- the internal pad, to be placed in direct contact with the suture line, is made of non-woven fabric containing Hydrofiber® Technology. Thanks to its peculiar texture, the Hydrofiber® pad micro-conforms to the suture line, providing adequate comfort to the patient. Furthermore, in the presence of exudate, the internal pad gels, absorbs and retains the exudate produced, always maintaining the optimal environment necessary for the tissue repair process. The presence of silver ions guarantees a high broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.
- The double-layer hydrocolloid component, which contains the Hydrofiber® pad, allows for sustained adhesion to the perilesional skin while also ensuring the flexibility needed to minimize the risk of dislocation or detachment of the dressing during movement.
- The outer covering layer, made of a polyurethane film, protects the wound from contamination and allows the management of the transmission of water vapour resulting from the absorbed exudate.

How to use
It should be used as a primary dressing. Choose the appropriate size, so that the central absorbent pad always covers the entire suture line. Apply carefully, ensuring complete adhesion of the dressing to the skin. The dressing should be removed when clinically indicated or in the presence of abundant unmanaged exudate, bleeding, clinical signs of infection, and in any case no later than 7 days after the first application.
