AQUACEL® Ag Hydrofiber Dressing is a silver impregnated antimicrobial dressing that is soft, sterile and made of non-woven material.
- Composition

- Mode of Action
- This highly absorbent dressing absorbs high amounts of wound fluid and bacteria to create a soft, cohesive gel that intimately conforms to the wound surface
