UrgoCell Ag Silver Foam Dressings

When a wound stalls because of bioburden or an active infection, a foam dressing that also delivers antimicrobial silver does two jobs at once — and that's exactly what UrgoCell Ag is built for. These sterile, non-adhesive silver foam dressings combine a highly absorbent polyurethane foam pad with an ionic silver complex that helps reduce the bacterial load right at the wound bed, making them a practical choice for moderately to heavily exudating wounds showing signs of infection.

This collection carries UrgoCell Ag in two sizes — the 4 x 4 inch (509345) for smaller wounds and localized areas, and the larger 6 x 8 inch (509346) for broader wound sites or areas needing more coverage. Both are the tan, borderless, non-adhesive version, which means you choose your own securement (a secondary retention dressing, wrap, or tape). Clinicians often prefer the borderless format because it sits flush over irregular anatomy and can be cut to fit without wasting the antimicrobial foam.

A few things buyers typically want to confirm: UrgoCell Ag is intended for infected or at-risk wounds such as pressure injuries, leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and surgical or traumatic wounds. Because it's non-adherent, it lifts cleanly at dressing changes to protect fragile new tissue, and the foam wicks exudate vertically to help keep the surrounding skin from macerating. Wear time depends on exudate level — heavier drainage means more frequent changes, while a well-managed wound may hold longer.

If you're comparing silver options for your formulary, it's worth looking at other antimicrobial foam and gelling-fiber dressings we stock, including Kerracel Ag and Algidex Ag, alongside our broader Ag+ silver dressing range to match the right silver delivery to the wound in front of you.
