AQUACEL® Dressings
Download the clinical summary of newly published in vitro evidence1 demonstrating that the uniqueness of AQUACEL® Ag+ dressing is derived from the addition of two excipients: a chelator and a surfactant, designed to disrupt biofilm, helping the performance of ionic silver.1
It is the synergistic effect of these excipients, working for and with ionic silver,1 that sets apart the efficacy of this dressing to disrupt biofilm2 and kill infection-causing bacteria.*3,4
Watch the video on how biofilm delays wound healing and how AQUACEL® Ag+ dressings perform.
