Convatec AQUACEL Foam Pro Adhesive Dressing
Convatec AQUACEL Foam Pro Adhesive Dressing is a multilayer advanced wound dressing combining Hydrofiber technology, absorbent foam layers, a perforated silicone adhesive border, and a waterproof outer film barrier. It is designed to manage moderate to heavy exuding wounds while protecting surrounding skin.
The dressing supports a controlled moist wound environment while reducing risk of maceration and simplifying exudate management in both acute and chronic wound care settings.
Key Features
- Hydrofiber core transforms into gel on contact with wound fluid
- Locks in exudate to reduce lateral spread and maceration risk
- Multilayer foam pad enhances absorption and cushioning
- Silicone adhesive border allows gentle, secure fixation
- Waterproof outer film provides bacterial and viral barrier protection
- Breathable structure supports moisture vapor balance
- Conforms to anatomical areas including sacral and heel sites
- Designed for up to extended wear time under clinical supervision
Quick Summary
- Used for moderate to heavily exuding wounds
- Suitable for pressure injuries, ulcers, and surgical wounds
- Hydrofiber technology controls fluid and bacterial spread
- Silicone border enables atraumatic removal
What Is This Product?
AQUACEL Foam Pro is a multilayer advanced foam dressing combining a Hydrofiber wound interface layer, absorbent foam core, and silicone adhesive border. When exposed to exudate, the Hydrofiber layer converts fluid into a cohesive gel that traps exudate within the dressing structure.
This system is designed to maintain a moist wound environment while preventing lateral fluid spread that can contribute to maceration of peri-wound skin.
Indications / Wound Types
- Pressure injuries (Stage I–IV as clinically appropriate)
- Sacral pressure ulcers
- Heel pressure injuries
- Venous leg ulcers
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Surgical wounds
- Traumatic wounds
- Skin tears
- Moderate to heavy exuding wounds
How It Works
The Hydrofiber layer absorbs wound fluid and transforms it into a gel, locking exudate and bacteria within the dressing matrix. This helps reduce lateral spread of fluid and protects surrounding skin from maceration.
The foam layers provide cushioning and additional absorption capacity, while the silicone border ensures secure adhesion with minimal trauma during removal.
Application Instructions
- Cleanse wound per clinical protocol
- Dry surrounding skin thoroughly
- Select dressing size extending beyond wound margins
- Apply dressing centrally over wound bed
- Smooth silicone border without stretching
- Ensure full edge contact for secure seal
Dressing Change Guidance
Change frequency is determined by exudate level and clinical assessment. Dressing should be replaced when gel saturation is reached or leakage occurs at the edges.
May be used under compression therapy when clinically appropriate and supervised.
Why Choose This Product
AQUACEL Foam Pro combines Hydrofiber gel technology with advanced multilayer foam absorption and silicone border adhesion. It is designed to simplify exudate management while protecting peri-wound skin in high-risk wound environments.
Its vertical wicking and gel-locking mechanism help maintain a stable wound environment and reduce dressing change trauma.
