View Agile®
Description
AGILE gellable fiber dressings utilize Active Fluid Management® (AFM®) technology
with the incorporation of highly absorbent gellable fibers. This patented design keeps
the wound bed moist, the periwound skin healthy, and harmful exudate away from
healing wounds facilitating healing in hard to heal, highly draining chronic wounds.
Indications for Use
AGILE gellable fiber dressings are indicated for the management of acute and chronic
wounds: leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, partial thickness burns, skin
grafts, incisions, donor sites, lacerations, and abrasions.
Contraindications
None known

- AGILE dressings are not approved for use directly on full thickness burns.
- The AGILE Fluid Management performance of AGILE dressings may be impaired by use with petrolatum-based ointments.
- AGILE dressings are sterile as provided. Do Not use if the primary package is visually
damaged or broken. - Do Not resterilize.
- Do Not Reuse. AGILE dressings are single use products.

Directions for Use
General Instructions:
AGILE dressings can be used throughout the healing process.
(1) Prepare the wound bed according to clinical protocol such as debridement and/or
cleaning and rinsing with sterile saline or water
(2) Remove the dressing from the package and apply to wound with the blue side of the
dressing facing away from the wound.
(2) Secure with an appropriate secondary dressing such as roll gauze, adhesive border
gauze, composite island dressing, transparent film, or tape if needed.
Notes
- Optimal performance requires direct contact with the wound.
- Can be used under compression.
- If required, AGILE dressings can be cut to different shapes and sizes
Applying AGILE Dressings
(1) Remove AGILE dressing from package. If required, dressing can be cut to size.
(2) Apply AGILE with blue side of dressing away from the wound.
(3) Add absorbent secondary dressing on top of the AGILE dressing (e.g. gauze, ABD pad,
foam, compression dressing).
(4) Secure both dressings using standard methods.
(5) If secondary dressing becomes saturated, discard saturated secondary dressing without
disturbing AGILE dressing.
(6) Add a new absorbent secondary dressing on top of the AGILE dressing (e.g. gauze,
ABD pad, foam, compression dressing).
(7) Re-Secure both dressings using standard methods.
(8) Replace AGILE dressing per doctor’s orders. Gently lift dressings from the wound. If
needed, moisten with sterile saline or water to ease removal
Removal/Disposal
