Aquacel Ag Surgical Cover Dressing (ConvaTec, Skillman, New Jersey) recently was found to show significant reduction in wound complications and dressing changes as compared with the use of a standard gauze surgical dressing in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty. Results of a clinical trial were recently published in the American Journal of Orthopedics. The trial also demonstrated significantly improved patient satisfaction.
