For leg ulcers, (venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers and leg ulcers of mixed etiology), diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers/injuries, partial-thickness (second-degree) burns, donor sites and surgical, oncology or traumatic wounds left to heal by primary or secondary intention:.Secondary dressings should be used as stated in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE section of the package insert.AQUACEL® Ag Advantage enhanced Hydrofiber® dressing with silver and strengthening fiber is not compatible with oil-based products, such as petrolatum.Because AQUACEL® Ag Advantage enhanced Hydrofiber® dressing with silver and strengthening fiber provides a moist environment that supports the growth of new blood vessels, the delicate, newly formed blood vessels may occasionally produce blood-stained wound fluid.If you have difficulty removing the dressing, it should be soaked with water or sterile saline until it removes easily.įor partial-thickness burns, please refer to the FOR PARTIAL-THICKNESS BURNS (SECOND-DEGREE BURNS) section of the package insert.

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. The wound should be inspected during dressing changes. If the wound continues to grow larger after the first few dressing changes, consult a health care professional.
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. 
When dressing sinus, tracking/tunneling or undermining wounds, use AQUACEL® Ag Advantage ribbon with strengthening fiber. Physical properties of the device may no longer be optimal for intended use. Reuse may lead to increased risk of infection or cross-contamination. This device is for single use only and should not be reused. Sterility is guaranteed unless pouch is damaged or opened prior to use. Under the supervision of a health care professional, AQUACEL® Ag Advantage enhanced Hydrofiber® dressing with silver and strengthening fiber may be used as stated in the Instructions for Use for the management of wounds as an effective barrier to bacterial penetration of the dressing, which may help reduce the risk of infection partial-thickness (second-degree) burns diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers (venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers and leg ulcers of mixed etiology) and pressure ulcers/injuries (partial- and full-thickness) surgical wounds left to heal by secondary intention such as dehisced surgical incisions surgical wounds that heal by primary intent such as dermatological and surgical incisions (e.g., orthopedic and vascular) traumatic wounds wounds that are prone to bleeding, such as wounds that have been mechanically or surgically debrided and donor sites oncology wounds with exudate, mycosis fungoides (cutaneous T-cell lymphoma) tumors, fungating carcinoma, cutaneous metastasis, Kaposi's sarcoma and angiosarcoma painful wounds infected wounds. Absorbs high amounts of wound fluid and bacteria and creates a soft, cohesive gel that intimately conforms to the wound surface, maintains a moist environment and aids in the removal of non-viable tissue from the wound (autolytic debridement). Silver in the dressing kills microorganisms held within the dressing the dressing (including bacteria, yeasts and mold) and provides an antimicrobial barrier to protect the wound bed. Benzethonium chloride (BEC) is a surfactant that reduces the viscosity or surface tension of anything to which it comes in contact, including exudate and microorganisms, which allows for increased mobility of EDTA and ionic silver within the dressing, enhancing the ionic silver's ability to contact and kill microorganisms. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA) helps break up bacterial aggregates and prevents their formation and reformation. 
Sustained antimicrobial activity in dressing up to seven days and prevents microbial reformation.Kills a broad spectrum of bacteria within the dressing, including antibiotic-resistant microorganisms.
