Features and Benefits
- Unique Aquacel Interface: The only dressing of its kind to incorporate an Aquacel interface that gels on contact with wound exudate to provide a moist healing environment. It locks in the harmful components of wound exudate, promoting faster healing and avoiding lateral spread of fluid, thereby reducing the risk of maceration.
- Soft Absorbent Foam Pad: Provides quite a fair amount of comfort to the patient as it cushions the wound, while on the other hand, absorbs the excessive fluid efficiently. This in turn reduces the frequency of dressing change and makes the feasibility of attendance for care at the site of the wound more approachable.
- Waterproof/Bacteria Barrier: Provides a water-tight barrier to viral and bacterial penetration that protects the wound from external contaminants while still allowing excess moisture to evaporate. Patients can shower and bathe with confidence, knowing their wound is safeguarded.
- Gentle Silicone Adhesive: The silicone border adheres well to the surrounding skin but not to the wound bed, allowing for easy application and removal. This skin-friendly adhesive minimizes irritation, thus being suitable for even the most sensitive skins or patients prone to allergic reactions.
- Vertical Wicking Technology: By wicking fluid in a vertical direction, the dressing inhibits the spread of fluid laterally, reducing the possibility of maceration and micro-contours to the wound bed. It reduces dead space for bacteria proliferation, thereby supporting or providing an environment for a cleaner and healthier wound.
