Exufiber® Ag+
Printer-friendly version
Exufiber® Ag+ is an antimicrobial gelling fiber dressing with high tensile strength and retention capacity featuring Hydrolock® Technology. Gels on contact with wound exudate to facilitate moist wound healing and ease of removal during dressing changes.
• High retention capacity reduces the risk of leakage and maceration
• High wet tensile strength enables one-piece dressing removal and reduces the risk of residue and fibers being left in the wound
• Sustained antimicrobial effect
• May be left in place for up to seven days
Exufiber® Ag+ is intended to be used on a wide range of exuding wounds, including: pressure ulcers, leg and foot ulcers, partial-thickness burns, surgical wounds, donor sites, chronic wounds and oncology wounds.
All wounds should be inspected frequently. In case of signs of infection, consult a health care professional for infection treatment. Exufiber® Ag+ is not intended for dry wounds or full-thickness burns. If the dressing dries out and is difficult to remove, it should be moistened according to clinical practice and allowed to soak until it lifts easily.

Cleanse the wound with wound cleanser according to clinical practice. Thoroughly dry the surrounding skin. Aseptically remove the dressing from the package. For shallow wounds: apply Exufiber® Ag+ dressing to cover the entire wound with overlap on to the surrounding skin by at least 1cm-2cm. The Exufiber® Ag+ dressing will slightly shrink as it absorbs wound fluid. For wounds with depth: loosely pack ribbon or sheet into the wound. Fixate with an appropriate secondary dressing. Compression therapy may be used in conjunction with Exufiber® Ag+.
May be left in place for up to seven days.
