The stitch-bonded dual-layer construction provides 9x greater tensile strength and 50% greater absorption capacity compared to standard AQUACEL Ag dressings. Indicated for moderate to highly exuding acute and chronic wounds at risk of infection or where biofilm is suspected.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAQUACEL Ag Extra Hydrofiber Dressing is an advanced antimicrobial wound dressing manufactured by ConvaTec, designed to address the three key local barriers to wound healing: excess exudate, infection, and biofilm. The dressing is composed of two layers of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Hydrofiber Technology) stitch-bonded together with regenerated cellulose fibre, impregnated with 1.2% ionic silver as the primary antimicrobial agent, and enhanced with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA) and benzethonium chloride (BeCl) for synergistic biofilm disruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpon contact with wound exudate, the Hydrofiber matrix absorbs and locks fluid into the dressing structure, forming a soft, cohesive gel that intimately conforms to the wound surface topography. This gelling action maintains a moist wound environment, supports autolytic debridement of non-viable tissue, and locks bacteria within the gel matrix, reducing the risk of cross-contamination at dressing changes. The 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inch) format is suitable for medium-sized wounds and can be cut to shape without compromising integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConvaTec Ltd (United Kingdom)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAQUACEL® Ag Extra™ Hydrofiber® Dressing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREF \/ Catalogue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e413567\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDressing Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 cm x 10 cm (4\" x 4\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDressing Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo-layer stitch-bonded Hydrofiber (sodium carboxymethylcellulose)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntimicrobial Agent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.2% Ionic silver + EDTA + Benzethonium chloride (BeCl)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbsorption\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50% greater than standard AQUACEL Ag; suited for moderate to high exudate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTensile Strength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9x stronger than standard AQUACEL Ag (stitch-bonded construction)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSterility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterile, individually sealed (gamma irradiated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLatex Content\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLatex-free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegulatory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCE marked Class III Medical Device per EU MDR 2017\/745; FDA 510(k) cleared; ISO 13485 certified manufacturing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 dressings per box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClinical Indications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManagement of moderate to highly exuding acute and chronic wounds at risk of infection or showing clinical signs of local infection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWounds where biofilm is suspected or confirmed, including non-healing chronic wounds with persistent inflammation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVenous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and pressure injuries (Stage II–IV) requiring antimicrobial exudate management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcute traumatic wounds including surgical wounds, donor sites, and partial-thickness burns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWound bed preparation under Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) as a primary contact layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost-operative wound management in contaminated or high-risk surgical sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What differentiates AQUACEL Ag Extra from standard AQUACEL Ag dressings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: AQUACEL Ag Extra features a stitch-bonded dual-layer Hydrofiber construction that provides 9x greater tensile strength and 50% more absorption capacity than the standard single-layer AQUACEL Ag. Additionally, AQUACEL Ag Extra incorporates EDTA and benzethonium chloride (BeCl) alongside ionic silver, creating a tri-component antimicrobial system specifically engineered to disrupt bacterial biofilm — a feature not present in the standard formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How long can AQUACEL Ag Extra remain in situ?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: AQUACEL Ag Extra can remain in place for up to 7 days, depending on the volume of wound exudate and clinical assessment. The dressing should be changed when clinically indicated — typically when strike-through occurs, the secondary dressing becomes saturated, or as directed by the wound care protocol. The sustained silver release maintains antimicrobial efficacy throughout the wear period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can AQUACEL Ag Extra be used on infected wounds?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes. AQUACEL Ag Extra is specifically indicated for wounds at risk of infection or showing signs of local wound infection. It provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. However, for wounds with confirmed systemic infection, appropriate systemic antimicrobial therapy should be initiated alongside local wound management as per institutional infection control guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the dressing compatible with wound imaging and MRI?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The silver content in AQUACEL Ag Extra may produce artefacts on CT and MRI imaging.
