Why choose Aquacel Non-Adhesive Foam Dressing?
- A waterproof top layer that permits evaporation of excess moisture while protecting against viral/bacterial penetration, allowing the patient to shower and bathe
- A soft, absorbent foam pad to enhance patient comfort and absorb excess fluid
- A Hydrofiber layer with ionic silver that gels on contact with wound fluid and helps provide an optimal environment for wound healing
- A gentle silicone adhesive that provides secure, skin-friendly adhesion, easy removal and demonstrated low potential for dermal irritation or allergic contact sensitization
Benefits of Aquacel Non-Adhesive Hydrofiber Foam Dressings
- ConvaTec Aquacel Foam Dressing helps reduce pain during dressing changes
- Water proof or bacteria barrier provides evaporation of excess moisture, barrier against viral or bacterial penetration and allows patient to shower and bathe
- Vertical wicking prevents lateral spread of fluid, reducing risk of maceration
- Micro-contours to the wound bed, minimizing dead space where bacteria can grow
- Upon removal, Aquacel foam dressing resulted in low cellular adhesion in both wet and dry environments
- Demonstrated low potential for dermal irritation or allergic contact sensitization
- Aquacel foam adhesive dressing is designed to help reduce the risk of skin breakdown by absorbing exudate and protecting the wound and surrounding skin from contact with clothing or bed linen
- Aqua foam dressing is designed to protect against skin breakdown caused by friction or moisture
- Aquacel Dressing provides a controlled Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate which may help to reduce Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL)
- Place for up to 7 days
- Reduce pain and trauma upon removal
How Hydrofiber Technology Works?
- Hydrofiber Technology is a soft, absorbent material that transforms into a gel on contact with wound fluid
- The gelling action creates an optimal environment for wound healing
Benefits of Hydrofiber Technology in Aquacel Foam Dressings
- Helps protect periwound skin and reduce maceration
- May help to minimize wound and cross-infection during removal
