aquacel wound dressing

Numerous compounds and materials can help speed up the wound healing process. Silver, for instance, is a popular antimicrobial agent that prevents or reduces the risk of infection, while alginate dressings are designed for heavily exuding wounds. Hydrofiber is another well-known and used extensively in Aquacel dressings.

The advantages of using Aquacel dressings for wounds

• Absorb exudate

Hydrofibertechnology is based heavily on a sodium carboxymethylcellulose hydrocolloid fibre material. It forms a gel upon contact with a wound. This mechanism allows it to manage fluid well, effectively absorbing exudatea fluid made of cells, proteins, and solid materials, commonly known as pus.

Hydrofiber helps lock in exudate and protect the skin, maintaining moisture and balance in the wound

Aquacel Ag Dressings are primary wound dressings made of Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) with 1.2% silver in ionic form. The NaCMC used in these dressings is produced in the form of textile fibre and presented in the form of fleece held by needle bonding. The silver ions released by NaCMC give a sustainable antimicrobial effect in the presence of sodium ions from the wound exudate.

Key Benefits of Aquacel Ag Dressings:

• Interacts and absorbs with exudate forming a hydrophilic gas-permeable gel that confines microorganisms to the contours and facilitates healing.
• Aquacel Ag Dressings can
