Overcome the challenges of partial thickness burns with AQUACEL® Ag BURN dressing AQUACEL® Ag BURN dressing is specially designed for use on partial thickness burns (PTBs). It benefits from the gelling action of Hydrofiber® Technology, which is proprietary to ConvaTec. Minimizing painful dressing changes • AQUACEL® Ag BURN can be left in place on PTBs and donor sites for up to 21 days or until clinically indicated, thus minimizing the number of dressing changes.1 • Because it contains Hydrofiber® Technology, the dressing gels on contact with the wound, reducing pain while in situ and helping to reduce pain and trauma upon removal.2-5 Reducing the risk of infection • Harmful components contained in exudate – such as bacteria that may cause infection – are locked away in the wound dressing.†6-7 • AQUACEL® Ag BURN dressing contains ionic silver – a proven antimicrobial – that kills a broad spectrum of pathogens, including MRSA, VRE, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, C. krusei, A. niger and B. fragils.†8 † As demonstrated in vitro Bacterial sequestration within the silver Hydrofiber ® Technology dressing9 t = 2-3 mins Green = Alive Red = Dead t = Time Rapid confocal laser scanning microscopy allows 3D reconstruction to show the density of sequestered bacteria and extent of killing within the AQUACEL® Ag dressing.9 Apply it, leave it,* help heal it *AQUACEL® Ag BURN dressing provides a comfortable environment while the dressing is in situ or upon removal. Although the dressing may be left in place for up to 21 days, clinical judgment is recommended to determine whether multiple dressing changes should occur during that period.
