MORE THAN SILVER™ Technology

AQUACEL® Dressings

Specifically developed to win the battle against bioburden, MORE THAN SILVER™
technology is a unique formulation that contains three components.20 They synergistically
work together to enhance the antimicrobial efficacy of ionic silver within the dressing
resulting in:

  • Faster reduction of bacteria20
  • Broad spectrum efficacy21-23
  • Sustained antimicrobial activity

UNITED AGAINST BIOFILM

We combine MORE THAN SILVER™ with Hydrofiber® technology, which works to absorb wound exudate and disrupted EPS and bacteria. This helps to manage wound moisture and support healing9.
