Who Uses This Product? Individuals who have open, hard-to-heal wounds that are infected or at risk of becoming infected.
Why They Love This Product: The dressing is impregnated with ionic silver, which has enhanced antimicrobial properties. It absorbs wound exudate and keeps it from leaking, while Hydrofiber and MORE THAN SILVER technologies assist with healing and fighting infection. A gel layer forms when wound fluid is absorbed, creating a moist environment that allows for easy, painless changing.
AQUACEL AG ADVANTAGE DRESSING OVERVIEW
Convatec Aquacel Silver-Ag Advantage is designed as a primary dressing for open wounds that are acute or hard to heal. It is made with Hydrofiber and MORE THAN SILVER technology to manage biofilm — a microbial layer that can slow the healing process — and provide the best healing environment for exuding wounds. The dressing has antimicrobial properties that help kill bacteria and prevent further growth, keeping the wound from getting infected.

Convatec Hydrofiber and MORE THAN SILVER Healing Technology
The Aquacel Ag Advantage Wound Dressing combines Hydrofiber and MORE THAN SILVER technology.
Hydrofiber is a material that transforms into a gel when it comes in contact with wound fluid, creating the best environment possible for healing. It holds in exudate and micro-contours to the wound to prevent bacterial growth.
MORE THAN SILVER technology combines Ethylenediaminetetraacetic (EDTA) and BEC (Benzethonium Chloride) with ionic silver. Together, they intensify the antimicrobial activity to effectively kill any bacteria present and prevent the growth of more — including bacteria that are antibiotic-resistant.
Aquacel AG Advantage Technology Components
How Does It Work?
Convatec Aquacel Silver-Ag Advantage wound dressing absorbs fluid from the wound. This fluid creates a gel within the dressing that conforms to the wound bed to reduce the chance that bacteria will grow. The dressing keeps the wound bed moist, which assists with healing and also reduces the chance that the material will stick to the injury. This makes it easier for the bandage to be changed painlessly.
