AQUACEL Ag SURGICAL cover dressing - The right dressing does make a difference

Patients with surgical incisions can experience the following post-operative complications:

Surgical site infection
Blistering
Bleeding
Pain and discomfort during movement
Pain and trauma at dressing changes

Potential consequences of surgical site infection:

Delayed healing
Revision surgery
Systemic illness (e.g. sepsis)
Extended hospital stay
Associated increased cost
Death

All of these complications can translate to increased time, expense and concern for the patient’s well-being.

Evidence supports that, compared to a non-woven post-operative surgical cover dressing, AQUACEL SURGICAL and AQUACEL Ag SURGICAL cover dressings:

Reduce superficial surgical site infection (SSI)
Reduce skin blistering
Reduce incidence of delayed discharge
Require fewer dressing changes

AQUACEL Ag SURGICAL cover dressings are an easy-to-use, single-product solution to the post-operative management of surgical incisions. They are designed to enhance clinical outcomes and facilitate patient mobility. Added ionic silver provides sustained antimicrobial activity for up to 14 days as demonstrated by in vitro studies.
