Aquacel foam - 10 hydrofiber sterile adhesive dressings 12,5x12,5 cm

Product Description

Multi-layered adhesive foam dressing.

Indications

Aquacel Foam is a multi-layered adhesive foam dressing made of hydrocellular polyurethane with a honeycomb structure, accompanied by a thin layer of hydrofiber in contact with the wound bed, an external polyurethane film and a silicone adhesive 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 maintains the moist environment 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 border is extremely delicate to remove, thin and repositionable.
AQUACEL Foam is indicated for use in low to medium exuding wounds on:

• Traumatic wounds: small abrasions, lacerations and small cuts;
• Chronic wounds: leg ulcers (venous ulcers, arterial ulcers and mixed adetiology ulcers), diabetic ulcers, partial-thickness and full-thickness pressure ulcers;
• Acute wounds: surgical wounds (left to heal by secondary intention) and donor sites;
• Oncological wounds: lesions with high exudate (skin fungal tumors, skin metastases and sarcoma).

It can It can be used as both a primary and secondary dressing.

Latex free - Phthalate free.

Composition

Sterile dressing composed of: an external waterproof polyurethane film, a layer of hydrophilic polyurethane with a thickness of 2.5 mm, density of around 300 g/m2 and cell size of 200-300 microns, an absorbent layer of non-woven fibers composed of pure sodium carboxymethyl cellulose in gelling fibers (NaCMC) surrounded by a thin and delicate silicone adhesive border.

Sterilization method: Sterilized by ethylene oxide.

How to use

Choose a dressing of a shape and size such that the central absorbent pad is larger than the wound area. Align the center of the dressing with the center of the wound and place the central pad of the dressing directly over the wound.
