Convatec AQUACEL Ag Advantage Antimicrobial Dressing — Sheet, Ribbon, & Surgical Sizes
Advanced Biofilm disruption for every wound shape. AQUACEL Ag Advantage is the next generation of silver Hydrofiber dressings, specifically designed to tackle the primary obstacle to healing: Biofilm. By combining two powerful surfactants and a chelating agent (Advantage Technology) with ionic silver, this dressing breaks down the protective "slime" layer where bacteria hide, kills the pathogens inside, and prevents the biofilm from reforming. Whether you are packing a deep tunnel, covering a surgical incision, or treating a flat ulcer, AQUACEL Ag Advantage provides a superior antimicrobial environment.
✔ Advantage Technology – The only dressing designed to disrupt and destroy biofilm ✔ Hydrofiber® Gelling Action – Locks in fluid and contours perfectly to eliminate "dead space" ✔ Ionic Silver – Rapid, sustained kill of a broad spectrum of bacteria ✔ Versatile Formats – Available in Sheets, Ribbons for packing, and Surgical covers

Indicated For — Complex Wound Management
AQUACEL Ag Advantage is the preferred choice for wounds that are failing to progress or showing signs of infection, including:
- Tunneling & Undermining Wounds: Use the Ribbon format to pack deep tracks where biofilm often thrives.
- Surgical Incisions: Use the Surgical format for antimicrobial protection over fresh post-op sites.
- Chronic Ulcers: Diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and pressure injuries (Stages 2-4).
- Traumatic Wounds: Lacerations, abrasions, and wounds at high risk of infection.
The Power of Three: How Advantage Technology Works
Standard silver dressings often fail when bacteria are protected by biofilm. AQUACEL Ag Advantage uses a three-part attack to clear the path for healing:
- 1. Disrupt: Surfactants lower the surface tension of the biofilm shield.
- 2. Destroy: A chelating agent (Be-Cl) breaks down the metal ions that give biofilm its structure, exposing the bacteria.
- 3. Defeat: 1.2% Ionic Silver floods the area, killing the now-vulnerable bacteria and preventing them from rebuilding their defenses.
