AQUACEL^®Ag+ Extra

AQUACEL™ Ag+  incorpora due potenti tecnologie che lavorano in sinergia per gestire le barriere locali fondamentali per la guarigione delle lesioni - essudato, infezione e biofilm.

La Technologia MORE THAN SILVER™ è una formulazione unica contenente ioni argento, formulazione contro il biofilm che:^*1

- Distrugge il biofim ed i batteri in esso contenuti^3-5

- Uccide un ampio spettro di batteri, compresi quelli antibiotico resitenti, grazie al su serbatoio di argento ^*4,5,6

-Previene la riformazione del biofilm^*4,5 La tecnologia Hydrofiber™ aiuta a creare un ambiente ideale alla guarigione della lesione – garantendo che la tecnologia  Ag+ Technology lavori al meglio.

- Blocca l'essudato in eccesso, i batteri e il biofilm per ridurre al minimo le infezioni crociate e prevenire la macerazione della cute perilesionale ^*7-12

- Si microconforma al letto di lesione, mantenendo il giusto grado di umidità ed eliminando gli spazi vuoti dove i batteri potrebbero proliferare^*13-15

- Interagisce con il letto di lesione formando un gel coesivol, minimizzando il dolore durante il cambio medicazione^16-18

AQUACEL™ Ag+ Extra™può essere utilizzato per la gestione di:

- ulcere del piede diabetico

- ulcere degli arti inferiori, (venose, arteriose o ad eziologia mista)

- ulcere da pressione;

- ferite chirurgiche;

- ferite traumatiche;

- lesioni oncologiche

- ustioni a spesspre parziale
