NICE-published cost comparison⁴
The NICE Late Stage Assessment includes a health economic analysis of infected leg ulcers using different types of antimicrobial agents.
-
Save >£500 per patient vs all other silver dressings: Aquacel Ag+ was associated with a >£500 saving per patient versus all other silvers. This was attributed to faster healing rates.
-
Faster healing = more cost-effective The faster a dressing could bring about complete healing, the more likely that dressing was to be cost-effective.
-
The evidence for many dressings is uncertain The authors found that the overall level of evidence for many dressings was uncertain or low quality. Aquacel Ag+ Extra™ is supported by RCT and real world evidence.
