Aquacel Adhesive Foam Dressing, 16.9 x 20 cm
An adhesive foam dressing designed to manage exudate while maintaining appropriate moisture at the wound site. Suitable for wounds requiring high absorbency.
Composition and features
- Soft silicone adhesive layer: Gentle on skin with secure, comfortable adhesion. Can be lifted and repositioned to facilitate easy, low‑pain dressing changes.
- Absorbent foam layer: High capacity to absorb moderate to heavy exudate. Helps lock in fluid to minimize leakage and protect surrounding skin.
- Hydrocolloid (Hydrofiber) layer: Reacts with wound fluid to form a soft, cohesive gel that maintains a moist environment and helps prevent adherence to the skin, reducing pain on removal.
Key benefits
- High absorbency: Appropriate for heavily exuding wounds such as pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, and surgical wounds.
- Protective barrier: Acts as a barrier to external bacteria, helping reduce the risk of infection.
- Patient comfort: Adhesive format may reduce the need for secondary dressings; easy and less painful removal.
- Moist healing environment: Aquacel technology helps maintain moisture that supports faster healing and new tissue growth.
Important: Always consult a physician or wound-care specialist to determine the appropriate dressing for the specific case.
