AQUACEL AG DRESSING

The waterproof barrier helps against viral and bacterial penetration. This contours to the wound bed, which minimizes the space where bacteria can grow and also helps to maintain a moist wound environment. These also help to prevent lateral spread of fluid for reduced risk of maceration.

Before applying the dressing, cleanse the wound area with an appropriate wound cleanser.

Aquacel Ag should overlap 1cm ( ½ inch) onto the skin surrounding the wound.

When using Aquacel Ag ribbon in cavity wounds, leave at least 2.5cm (1 inch) outside the wound for easy retrieval.

This primary dressing should be used with a secondary cover dressing. Apply the dressing to the wound and cover with a moisture retentive dressing (e.g. DuoDERM), foam dressing, gauze, or other appropriate dressing. See individual cover dressing package inserts for complete instruction for use.

All wounds should be inspected frequently. Remove the Aquacel Ag when clinically indicated (i.e., leakage, excessive bleeding, increased pain) or after a maximum of seven days.

• Sterility is guaranteed unless pouch is damaged or opened prior to use.

• This device is for single use only and should not be reused. Reuse may lead to increased risk of infection or cross-contamination. Physical properties of the device may no longer be optimal for intended use.

• During the body's normal healing process, non-viable tissue is removed from the wound (autolytic debridement), which could initially make the wound appear larger. If the wound continues to grow larger after the first few dressing changes, consult a health care professional. The wound should be inspected during dressing changes. Consult a health care professional if you see (a) signs of infection (increased pain, increased redness, wound drainage), (b) bleeding, (c) a change in wound color and/or odor, (d) irritation (increased redness and/or inflammation), (e) maceration (skin whitening), (f) hypergranulation (excessive tissue formation), (g) sensitivity (allergic reaction), (h) no signs of healing. Aquacel AG should not be used on individuals who are sensitive to or who have had an allergic reaction to the dressing or its components.
