AQUACEL® Ag Foam may be used for the management of both chronic and acute wounds, such as leg ulcers, pressure injuries (stages 2-4) and diabetic ulcers; surgical wounds (post-operative, donor sites, dermatological); partial-thickness (second-degree) burns; traumatic or surgical wounds left to heal by secondary intention such as dehisced surgical incisions; surgical wounds that heal by primary intent, such as dermatological and surgical incisions (e.g., orthopedic and vascular); wounds that are prone to bleeding, such as wounds that have been mechanically or surgically debrided and donor sites; painful wounds; abrasions; lacerations; minor cuts; minor scalds and burns.

AQUACEL® Ag Foam dressings 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 dressing may no longer be optimal for intended use.
This wound dressing should not be used with other wound care products without first consulting a health care professional.
During the body's normal healing process, non-viable tissue may be removed (autolytic debridement) from the wound, which could make the wound appear larger after the first few dressing changes.
Should you observe irritation (reddening, inflammation), maceration (whitening of skin) or hypergranulation (excess tissue formation), consult a health care professional.
This wound should be inspected during dressing changes for (1) signs of infection (increased pain, bleeding, warmth/redness of surrounding tissue, wound exudate) (2) a change in wound color and/or odor, (3) any other unexpected symptoms occur (e.g., maceration or hypergranulation).
The use of AQUACEL® Ag Foam dressing adhesive and non adhesive has not been studied in wounds due to herpes simplex or impetigo.

For leg ulcers, pressure injuries, diabetic ulcers, second-degree burns, donor sites, surgical or traumatic wounds left to heal by primary or secondary intention:

• Treatment of the wound types listed above should only be under the supervision of a health care professional.
• 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').
• Colonization of chronic wounds is common and is not a contraindication to the use of the dressing. The dressing may be used on infected wounds under medical supervision together with appropriate therapy and frequent monitoring of the wound.
• The control of blood glucose, as well as appropriate supportive measures, should be provided for diabetic foot ulcers.
• In second-degree burns, consider alternative surgical procedures if the wound has not re-epithelialized after 14 days.

Store at room temperature (10°C-25°C, 50°F-77°F). Protect from light. Keep dry.
