AQUACEL™ Ag Advantage Surgical dressing was developed to support the targets of healthcare providers to further reduce HAIs in their facilities.

AQUACEL™ Ag Advantage Surgical dressing has the same design and components to reduce the incidence of surgical site complications as demonstrated for AQUACEL™ Ag Surgical but also has the additional advantage of MORE THAN SILVER™ Technology Developed to reduce bioburden, MORE THAN SILVER™ is a unique antimicrobial formation of a surfactant, a metal chelating agent and ionic silver.

AQUACEL™ Ag Advantage Surgical is engineered to reinforce the tissues and closure mechanisms more than other dressings, to achieve a balance between longitudinal extension and mediolateral extension. This reduces the risk of mechanical force-induced Surgical Wound Dehiscence in linear incisions.

The Avelle™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System consists of a non- sterile pump, a sterile wound dressing, extension tube set, fixation strips and two sets of three batteries. A negative pressure of 80mmHg ±20mmHg is maintained at the wound surface by the Avelle™ NPWT Pump. Wound exudate is managed by the dressing through the absorption and gelling capability of Hydrofiber™ Technology and via moisture evaporation at the dressing outer surface.

The Avelle™ NPWT System is intended for use in wounds which are considered to be low to moderately exuding up to a depth of 2cm (0.8 in.) The pump is a disposable unit that may be used for up to 30 days as a single patient use device. The dressing may be left in place for up to 7 days.
