Description
Aquacel Extra Hydrofiber Dressing- A leap in advanced wound care; it is nine times stronger and has an absorbency that is 39% greater than the original Aquacel dressing. The construction is made by stitching together two layers of Hydrofiber Technology into one dressing. It was designed to handle a wide range of exuding wounds, from moderate to highly exuding wounds effectively. Its special gelling action locks in the wound exudate and its detrimental components, thereby helping to maintain a moist balanced environment conducive to wound healing. From burns to surgical wounds and chronic ulcers, Aquacel Extra treats the wound with better outcomes, less frequency of dressing changes, and more comfort for the patient.
Features and Benefits
- Dual-Layer Hydrofiber Technology: Aquacel Extra is stitched with two layers of Hydrofiber Technology; this makes it nine times stronger than the original in durability and integrity during wear. The management of moderately to highly exuding wounds includes the absorption of excess fluid, thereby reducing any potential for maceration. There is also an interaction between the Hydrofiber and wound exudate to create an optimal moist wound healing environment.
- Superior absorbency: Aquacel Extra exhibits 39% higher absorbency compared to the original Aquacel dressing. This efficiently locks the exudate in the dressing, creating an appropriate moist environment conducive to wound healing and protecting the wound bed from harmful constituents.
- Improved Strength and Ease of Removal: It is reinforced with two-dimensional strengthening fibers that do not gel upon fluid contact. Thus, the integrity of this dressing is maintained. This added strength easily removes the dressing, reducing trauma and discomfort to the patient.
- Dynamic Gelling Action: Aquacel Extra initiates gelling immediately upon contact with wound fluid, contouring the wound bed intimately to provide an optimal healing environment. This unique gelling action locks in exudate, bacteria, and other harmful elements of the wound, thereby reducing the risk of infection and promoting faster healing.
- Versatile and Latex-Free: Aquacel Extra is cleared for the same indications as the original Aquacel Dressing. This is the ultimate versatile dressing for use on a host of wounds-from burns to surgical wounds to pressure ulcers to diabetic foot ulcers. It is also latex-free to avoid adverse reactions in patients who have latex allergies.
