AQUACEL^® Foam

Everything you love about foam — and more.

Only AQUACEL^® Foam dressings offer comfort, simplicity and the healing benefits of a Hydrofiber™ contact layer.

AQUACEL^® Foam dressings give you:

1. A waterproof top layer that permits evaporation of excess moisture while protecting against viral/bacterial penetration,*¹ allowing the patient to shower and bathe
2. A soft, absorbent foam pad to enhance patient comfort and absorb excess fluid
3. A Hydrofiber™ layer that gels on contact with wound fluid and helps provide an optimal environment for wound healing
4. A gentle silicone adhesive that provides secure, skin-friendly adhesion, easy removal and demonstrated low potential for dermal irritation or allergic contact sensitization²

The Hydrofiber™ interface in AQUACEL^® Foam dressing:

• Reduces pain while dressing is in situ^{, 3-6}
• In its gelled state, supports non-traumatic dressing removal
• Does not damage tender, granulating wound tissue during dressing changes
• Upon removal, results in low cellular adhesion in both wet and dry environments*⁷

What’s more, AQUACEL^® Foam dressings can be used as part of a comprehensive protocol to help protect patients from skin breakdown tied to friction and moisture, including complications such as pressure ulcers.

ConvaTec Hydrofiber™ Technology gives AQUACEL^® dressings powerful capabilities.
