UrgoClean Ag Silver Wound Dressings

UrgoClean Ag combines two things clinicians managing exudating, at-risk wounds are usually juggling separately: strong absorption and antimicrobial control. The dressing pairs a poly-absorbent fiber core that traps and retains slough and exudate with ionic silver that helps reduce bioburden in the wound bed. That makes it a practical choice for moderately to heavily exuding wounds where infection is a concern or a known complication — venous leg ulcers, pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers, and surgical or traumatic wounds in the cleansing phase.

The cleansing action is what sets this line apart. As the fibers absorb, they lift and bind fibrinous slough away from the wound surface, supporting autolytic debridement without a separate step. The silver works continuously against the microbial load, and because these dressings are non-adhesive, they lift off without stripping fragile periwound skin or disrupting new granulation tissue on removal.

We stock UrgoClean Ag in three sterile sizes so you can match the dressing to the wound rather than trimming down: the compact 2.5 x 2.5 inch (603070) for smaller ulcers and digits, the 4 x 5 inch (603071) for typical leg and sacral wounds, and the larger 6 x 8 inch (603073) for extensive or high-output areas. Each requires a secondary dressing or retention layer to hold it in place and manage overflow exudate.

A common question: how often should it be changed? Frequency depends on exudate volume and clinical signs — many protocols allow wear until strikethrough or per facility guidance, which reduces disruption to the healing wound compared with daily changes.

If you're comparing silver options, it's worth reviewing other ionic-silver and antimicrobial dressings such as Kerracel Ag and Algidex Ag, or browse the full Ag+ range to weigh absorption profiles and formats side by side.
