Locks fluid in. Removes in one piece.\u003c\/strong\u003e Mölnlycke Exufiber Ag+ is a sterile non-woven antimicrobial gelling fiber dressing made from highly absorbent polyvinyl alcohol fibers impregnated with silver sulfate — providing rapid, sustained antimicrobial action against a broad range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA and VRE. Exufiber Ag+ features Hydrolock® technology — a fiber construction that packs fibers tightly to lock absorbed exudate, blood, and bacteria securely within the dressing, reducing the risk of leakage and periwound maceration under compression and during wear. Upon contact with wound exudate, the dressing transforms into a cohesive gel that supports a moist wound healing environment and maintains sufficient wet tensile strength to be removed in one piece at dressing change — reducing the risk of fiber residue in the wound. Kills 99% of fungus within 24 hours (in vitro). May reduce wound odor. May be left in place for up to 7 days. Available in ribbon and four pad sizes. Sold each, by the box, or by the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e✔ Hydrolock® Technology — Superior Fluid Retention vs. Competing Gelling Fiber Dressings    ✔ Silver Sulfate — Rapid Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Action    ✔ Kills MRSA, VRE \u0026amp; 99% of Fungus Within 24 Hours (In Vitro)    ✔ High Wet Tensile Strength — One-Piece Removal, No Fiber Residue    ✔ Up to 7-Day Wear    ✔ Compatible with Compression Therapy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAvailable Sizes \u0026amp; SKUs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003cth\u003eShape\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003cth\u003eHCPCS\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003cth\u003eCount\u003c\/th\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e603420\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e0.8 x 17.7 Inches (2 x 45 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eRibbon\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eA6199\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eEach · Box of 5 · Case of 20\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e603421\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e2 x 2 Inches (5 x 5 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003ePad\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eA6196\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eEach · Box of 10 · Case of 60\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e603422\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e4 x 4.8 Inches (10 x 12 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003ePad\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eA6197\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eEach · Box of 10 · Case of 40\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e603423\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e6 x 6 Inches (15 x 15 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003ePad\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eA6198\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eEach · Box of 5 · Case of 20\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e603424\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e8 x 12 Inches (20 x 30 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003ePad\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eA6199\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003eEach · Box of 5 · Case of 20\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize selection guidance:\u003c\/strong\u003e The ribbon (603420) is designed for packing tunneling wounds, sinus tracts, and deep cavity wounds.

Do not use in patients with known sensitivity to silver or polyvinyl alcohol. If the dressing dries out and is difficult to remove, moisten per clinical practice and allow to soak until it lifts easily. Do not use in direct contact with exposed tendons, bones, or joints without clinical guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHydrolock® Technology — Superior Fluid Retention\u003c\/strong\u003e — Hydrolock is Mölnlycke's proprietary fiber construction in which the polyvinyl alcohol fibers are packed tightly together, leaving less interstitial space for fluid to flow freely within the dressing. When exudate is absorbed, it swells the fibers and is locked securely in place rather than pooling and potentially leaking at the dressing edges. Independent retention testing demonstrates Exufiber Ag+ retains significantly more fluid under compression than conventional gelling fiber dressings — reducing the risk of periwound maceration and dressing leakage in high-exudate wound environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilver Sulfate — Rapid Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Action\u003c\/strong\u003e — Silver sulfate is the active antimicrobial agent in Exufiber Ag+, delivering rapid action against a broad range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria upon contact with wound exudate.

Residue left in the wound from conventional fiber dressings can impede healing and cause wound bed trauma during removal.

This tight packing leaves less interstitial space for absorbed fluid to flow back out, locking exudate, blood, and bacteria securely within the dressing structure. In independent fluid retention testing, Exufiber Ag+ retains significantly more fluid under compression than conventional gelling fiber dressings — meaning less leakage at the dressing edges, less periwound maceration, and more reliable protection through the full wear period. Standard gelling fiber dressings absorb well but do not retain as effectively under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between Exufiber Ag+ and standard Exufiber (without silver)?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nStandard Exufiber uses the same Hydrolock polyvinyl alcohol fiber construction and transforms into gel upon contact with exudate, but it does not contain silver sulfate. It is appropriate for medium to highly exuding wounds without signs of infection or critical colonization — where the goal is exudate management and moist wound healing without antimicrobial intervention. Exufiber Ag+ adds silver sulfate for broad-spectrum antimicrobial action against bacteria including MRSA and VRE, antifungal activity, and potential odor reduction. Choose Exufiber Ag+ when the wound shows signs of infection, critical colonization, elevated bacterial burden, or odor. Choose standard Exufiber for clean exuding wounds where antimicrobial therapy is not clinically indicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does Exufiber Ag+ remove in one piece when other fiber dressings fragment?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nExufiber Ag+ maintains high wet tensile strength after gelling — meaning even after the dressing has absorbed exudate and transformed into gel, the fiber structure retains enough physical cohesion to be grasped and removed as a single intact piece. Conventional gelling fiber dressings made from sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) or other materials can lose structural integrity after absorbing fluid, causing them to fragment during removal and leave fibers in the wound bed. Retained fibers can act as a foreign body, impede healing, and increase infection risk. The polyvinyl alcohol material and Hydrolock construction of Exufiber Ag+ preserve the dressing's physical integrity through the wear period for clean, atraumatic single-piece removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan Exufiber Ag+ be used under compression bandaging?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes — Exufiber Ag+ is specifically designed to maintain its absorption and retention performance under compression. The Hydrolock fiber construction keeps absorbed fluid locked within the dressing even when external pressure from compression bandaging is applied — making it appropriate for venous leg ulcers, mixed arterial-venous ulcers, and other lower extremity wounds managed with compression systems. Many conventional gelling fiber dressings lose retention capacity under compression, allowing exudate to be expressed back onto the periwound skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the ribbon form (603420) differ from the pad sizes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe ribbon (0.8 x 17.7 inches \/ 2 x 45 cm) is specifically designed for packing tunneling wounds, sinus tracts, fistulas, and deep cavity wounds where a flat pad cannot reach the base of the wound. Loose packing with the ribbon ensures antimicrobial contact with the wound walls throughout the cavity while managing exudate draining from depth. Leave a visible tail at the wound surface during packing to ensure the ribbon can be fully retrieved at dressing change. The pad sizes (603421–603424) are for open surface wounds and can be cut to fit wound dimensions without compromising performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does \"kills 99% of fungus within 24 hours\" mean clinically?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is an in vitro result — meaning it was demonstrated in laboratory testing conditions, not in a clinical trial. In vitro antimicrobial data indicates the dressing's capability under controlled conditions. Clinical results may vary depending on wound bioburden, exudate volume, wound type, and patient factors. The antifungal claim is clinically relevant for wounds at risk of fungal colonization, including immunocompromised patients, diabetic foot ulcers, and oncology wounds. Exufiber Ag+ is not a substitute for systemic antifungal therapy where systemic infection is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long can Exufiber Ag+ stay in place?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nExufiber Ag+ may be left in place for up to 7 days. However, the dressing should be changed before 7 days if it becomes saturated, if exudate strikes through to the secondary dressing, if there are signs of wound deterioration, or if the patient reports increased pain. In practice, the actual wear time will depend on wound exudate volume — heavily draining wounds may require more frequent changes than the maximum wear time allows. The treating clinician determines the appropriate change frequency based on wound assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Exufiber Ag+ sold individually or in bulk?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nExufiber Ag+ is available as individual units (each), by the box, or by the case — with quantities varying by size. Box quantities range from 5 to 10 per box depending on size; case quantities range from 20 to 60. Case purchasing provides the best per-dressing value for wound care clinics, home health agencies, and facilities with ongoing antimicrobial dressing programs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Molnlycke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63606291497329,"sku":"603421","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0919\/6122\/9681\/files\/molnlycke-exufiber-ag-plus-gelling-fiber-dressing-8737708.jpg?v=1781092089","url":"https:\/\/www.medicaldepartmentstore.com\/products\/molnlycke-exufiber-ag-plus-gelling-fiber-dressing","provider":"Medical Department Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
