Micro contours to the wound bed to eliminate dead spaces⁶𝄒⁷𝄒⁸. No wound is flat the hydrofiber layer within the dressings micro-contour and adapt to the wound bed unlike traditional foam dressings.

AQUACEL® Hydrofiber® Technology locks in exudate and bacteria⁹𝄒¹⁰𝄒¹¹ By locking in wound exudate, ConvaFoam™ dressings mirror the wound surface, reducing lateral spread and helping prevent maceration of the peri-wound skin even under compression.

Balances healing*¹² Reduced/resolved maceration Allows supported removal of sloughy tissue Clear signs of granulation tissue formation.

Innovation by design

Improved pore construction to enhance adhesion and absorption.

To create a dressing that offered improved clinical benefits, we enhanced the silicone in our ConvaFoamᵀᴹ Silicone and Border dressings. Our silicone adhesive has more precise and evenly distributed pores, which reduce the amount of silicone whilst improving adhesion.*^5,13

ConvaFoam™ has been designed to offer the unique ability to cut it to the exact shape and size you need, aiding application to difficult-to-dress areas.
