ConvaTec Aquacel Non-Adhesive Gelling Foam Dressing

• A waterproof top layer that permits evaporation of excess moisture while protecting against viral/bacterial penetration, allowing the patient to shower and bathe
• A soft, absorbent foam pad to enhance patient comfort and absorb excess fluid
• A Hydrofiber layer with ionic silver that gels on contact with wound fluid and helps provide an optimal environment for wound healing
• A gentle silicone adhesive that provides secure, skin-friendly adhesion, easy removal and demonstrated low potential for dermal irritation or allergic contact sensitization

• ConvaTec Aquacel Non-Adhesive Gelling Foam Dressing helps reduce pain during dressing changes
• Water proof or bacteria barrier provides evaporation of excess moisture, barrier against viral or bacterial penetration and allows patient to shower and bathe
• Vertical wicking prevents lateral spread of fluid, reducing risk of maceration
• Micro-contours to the wound bed, minimizing dead space where bacteria can grow
• Upon removal, Aquacel foam dressing resulted in low cellular adhesion in both wet and dry environments
• Demonstrated low potential for dermal irritation or allergic contact sensitization
• It is designed to help reduce the risk of skin breakdown by absorbing exudate and protecting the wound and surrounding skin from contact with clothing or bed linen
• It is designed to protect against skin breakdown caused by friction or moisture
• Aquacel Dressing provides a controlled Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate which may help to reduce Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL)
