• Can be left in place on partial-thickness burns and donor sites up to 21 days or until clinically indicated, thus minimizing the number of dressing changes
• Gels on contact with the wound, reducing pain while in situ and helping to reduce pain and trauma upon removal
• Conforms closely to the wound bed, minimizing the spaces where bacteria thrive
• Harmful exudate components are locked away in dressing to prevent infection
• Contains ionic silver for broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity
• Maintains an optimal healing environment
• Allows mobility while the dressing is in place
• Strong integrity when wet
• Minimal shrinkage

Under the supervision of a health care professional, AQUACEL® Ag Burn may be used for the management of partial-thickness (second-degree) burns; diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers (venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers and leg ulcers of mixed etiology) and pressure ulcers/injuries (partial- and full-thickness); wounds as an effective barrier to bacterial penetration of the dressing, which this may help reduce infection; surgical wounds left to heal by secondary intention such as dehisced surgical incision; surgical wounds that heal by primary intention such as dermatological and surgical incisions (e.g., orthopedic and vascular); traumatic wounds; wounds that are prone to bleeding, such as wounds that have been mechanically or surgically debrided and donor sites; oncology wounds with exudate, such as mycosis fungoides (cutaneous T-cell lymphoma) tumors, fungating carcinoma, cutaneous metastasis, Kaposi’s sarcoma and angiosarcoma; painful wounds; infected wounds.

Not for use on third-degree burns. AQUACEL® Ag Burn should not be used on individuals who are sensitive to or who have had an allergic reaction to the dressing or its components.

Sterility is guaranteed unless pouch is damaged or opened prior to use.
This device is for single use only and should not be reused. Reuse may lead to increased risk of infection or cross-contamination. Physical properties of the device may no longer be optimal for intended use.
During the body's normal healing process, non-viable tissue is removed from the wound (autolytic debridement), which could initially make the wound appear larger.
The wound should be inspected during dressing changes and appropriate treatment given if there are (a) signs of infection (increased pain, increase redness, wound drainage), (b) bleeding, (c) a change in wound color and/or odor, (d) irritation (increased redness and/or inflammation), (e) maceration (skin whitening),(f) hypergranulation (excessive tissue formation), (g) sensitivity (allergic reaction),(h) no signs of healing.
In the management of partial-thickness burns and donor sites, adherence to the wound bed of AQUACEL® Ag Burn is a desirable (see Directions for Use).
If you have difficulty removing the dressing, it should be soaked with sterile water or sterile saline until it removes easily. (For partial-thickness burns, please refer to the Partial Thickness Burns section of the package insert.)
Because AQUACEL® Ag Burn provides a moist environment that supports the growth of new blood vessels, the delicate newly formed blood vessels may occasionally produce blood-stained wound fluid.
AQUACEL® Ag Burn is not compatible with oil-based products, such as petrolatum.
Appropriate supportive measures should be taken where indicated (e.g., use of graduated compression bandaging in the management of venous leg ulcers or pressure relief measures in the management of pressure injuries, systemic antibiotics and frequent monitoring in the treatment of wound infection, control of blood glucose for diabetic ulcers, etc.)
In partial-thickness (second-degree) burns, consider alternate (surgical) procedures if the wound has not re-epithelialized after 14 days.
AQUACEL® Ag Burn is not intended for use as a surgical sponge.
The use of AQUACEL® Ag Burn has not been studied in wounds due to herpes simplex or impetigo.
While it has been observed that certain silver-containing products may cause skin discoloration following prolonged use, clinical studies with AQUACEL® Ag Burn have shown no such skin discoloration.
