Layers of absorption
Stays in place for up to 7 days, while absorbing and balancing exudate with Hydrofiber® Technology
1. Protective top layer Waterproof yet breathable, the top layer helps manage moisture vapour of the exudate, while protecting the wound from external contaminants.1
2, 3, 4. Dressing core Includes a unique Hydrofiber® Technology layer that gels on contact with exudate. Using vertical wicking, it locks exudate safely away from the wound and peri-wound skin, reducing the risk of lateral spread or maceration.2-5
Ultimate flexibility
1. Exudate managed Hydrofiber® Technology has been relied on by HCPs for 25 years for its unrivalled absorption and ability to lock exudate away from the wound – even under compression.1-2
2. Deterioration prevented Unlike traditional foam dressings, the unique vertical gelling action absorbs, retains and locks away harmful components such as bacteria and excess exudate directly into its fibres which prevents lateral spread and thereby reducing the risk of maceration.1-4
3. Flexible & conformable AQUACEL® Foam Pro’s secure silicone adhesive wound contact layer lets you apply to even the most challenging areas of a patient’s body.
