Convatec Aquacel Ag Surgical Wound Dressing 9x35cm 10 pieces

CE class III medical device sterilized by gamma rays.
Sterile dressing for surgical wounds, lacerated and bruised 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 high broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.
- The double-layer hydrocolloid component, which contains the Hydrofiber® pad, allows sustained adhesion to the periwound skin while also guaranteeing the flexibility necessary to minimize the risk of dislocation or detachment of the dressing during movements.
- The external covering layer, made up of a polyurethane film, protects the wound from contamination and allows the management of the transmission of water vapor deriving from the absorbed exudate.

How to use
It must be used as a primary dressing. Choose the appropriate size, such that the central absorbent pad always covers the entire suture gap. Apply carefully, ensuring complete adhesion of the dressing to the skin. The dressing must 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 from the first application.
