Aquacel® Foam

Adhesive Dressing Hydrofiber ™ Technology

AQUACEL® Foam offers you the comfort and simplicity of a foam together with the benefits of Hydrofiber ™ Technology.

Multi-layered adhesive dressing in hydrocellular polyurethane foam with a honeycomb structure, accompanied by a thin layer of hydro-fiber in contact with the wound bed, an external polyurethane film and an adhesive silicone border (hypoallergenic).
The mixed cell polyurethane layer is highly hydrophilic, absorbent, exudate-retaining and breathable.
The Hydrofiber Technology layer in direct contact with the wound bed allows AQUACEL Foam to actively interact with the wound itself, instantly forming a soft gel that keeps the environment moist and retains exudate, promoting healing and reducing the risk. of maceration of the periwound skin.
The breathable external film promotes the transmission of vapors and gases and creates an impermeable barrier to fluids and bacteria that protects the wound from external contamination.
The silicone adhesive edge is extremely gentle to removal, thin and repositionable.

AQUACEL Foam is indicated for use in low to moderately exuding wounds on:

• Traumatic wounds: small abrasions, lacerations and small cuts.
• Chronic wounds: ulcers of the lower limbs (venous ulcers, arterial ulcers and ulcers of mixed aetiology), diabetic ulcers, partial thickness and full thickness pressure ulcers.
• Acute wounds: surgical wounds (left to heal by secondary intention) and skin harvesting areas.
• Oncological wounds: lesions with high exudate (cutaneous mycotic tumors, skin metastases and sarcoma).

It can be used as both a primary and secondary dressing.
LATEX FREE - PHTHALATES FREE.

How to use

Choose a dressing that is shaped and sized such that the central absorbent pad is wider than the wound area. Align the center of the dressing with the center of the wound and place the center pad of the dressing directly over the wound.
The dressing should be changed when clinically indicated or when saturated with exudate; in any case no later than 7 days of permanence in situ.
AQUACEL Foam can be used as a primary dressing, or as a secondary dressing in combination with other products.
