ConvaTec Aquacel Ag Burn Hydrofiber Dressing with Iconic Silver 23 x 30cm/ 54 x 45cm, 5pcs/box

AQUACEL® Ag BURN is a sterile, antimicrobial wound dressing featuring a Hydrofiber® core infused with 1.2% ionic silver and reinforced with a sewn nylon stitch for added durability—designed specifically for managing moderate to heavy exuding burn injuries

🔬 Key Features & Technology

• Hydrofiber® + Silver

  • Made of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, this Hydrofiber pad absorbs large volumes of exudate and bacteria, transforming into a soft, cohesive gel that conforms closely to the wound bed 

  • The incorporated ionic silver (1.2% w/w) offers rapid, sustained broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection, supporting infection control 

• Nylon Reinforcement

  • A durable nylon stitch-bond along the dressing's length enhances handling strength, especially useful for larger burn areas

✅ Indications

Intended for use under professional supervision, this dressing is suitable for:

• Partial-thickness (second-degree) burns

• Mechanically or surgically debrided wounds

• Donor sites

• Other highly exuding or infected wounds (e.g., leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, traumatic or oncology wounds)

🌡️ Clinical Benefits

• High absorbency & exudate control: Converts exudate into gel to reduce leakage and maceration

• Moist wound environment promotes healing and supports gentle autolytic debridement

• Silver antimicrobial action helps reduce bacterial load within the dressing for up to 14 days in lab models

• Reinforced structure allows easy handling and maintains integrity for larger burn coverage

📝 Usage Guidelines

1. Cleanse the wound thoroughly before application.

2. Apply Hydrofiber side directly onto the wound bed, ensuring complete surface coverage and slight overlap onto surrounding skin.

3. Secure with a secondary dressing—such as gauze, foam, or film.

4. Leave in place until clinically indicated to remove—typically up to 7 days; for partial-thickness burns up to 14 days if healing is progressing

5. Gently remove by moistening to ease removal without trauma.

⚠️ Precautions

• Single-use only; discard if packaging is compromised 

• Avoid oil-based products, which can interfere with dressing function 

• Monitor for infection or skin reaction; discontinue use if signs of irritation, maceration, hypergranulation, or bleeding occur

• Use under healthcare supervision especially for deeper or infected wounds, donor sites, and burns
