AQUACEL® Ag Extra™ dressings
AQUACEL Ag+ dressings are antimicrobial primary dressings for use in wounds that are infected or at risk of infection. They are designed to manage the 3 key local barriers to healing – exudate, infection and biofilm. AQUACEL Ag+ dressings incorporate proven Hydrofiber Technology and Ag+ Technology – a unique ionic silver-containing, antibiofilm formulation.1 AQUACEL Ag+ dressings are available as AQUACEL Ag+ Extra and AQUACEL Ag+ Ribbon dressings.
AQUACEL Ag+ Extra dressing is comprised of 2 layers of Hydrofiber Technology stitch bonded together making it 9x stronger and 50% more absorbent than standard AQUACEL Ag dressing.2*
AQUACEL Ag+ Ribbon dressing is also strengthened with stitchbonding.

- Strength — 9 times more
- Absorbency — 50% more
- Wear time
And the ability to kill a broad spectrum of wound-related microbes in the dressing:
- Rapid and effective antimicrobial action
- Controlled release of ionic silver as wound exudate is absorbed into the dressing
