AQUACEL® Family of Dressings
Much More Than Just a Foam Dressing
AQUACEL® Foam dressing is powered by Hydrofiber® technology which:
- Absorbs wound fluid and creates a soft gel, maintaining a moist wound environment
- Locks in exudate through vertically wicking, reducing the risk of maceration*2
- Helps minimize pain while in place and during dressing changes 3-6
AQUACEL® Foam dressing is designed for:
- Exuding wounds
- Use as a primary dressing on shallow wounds
- Use as a secondary dressing on highly exuding wounds
- Use for a skin protection as part of a comprehensive protocol of care
† When used as part of a protocol of care.
*As demonstrated in-vitro.
