AQUACEL Foam Pro Wound Dressing

Description

Designed to Help Protect the Skin from Breakdown
AQUACEL® Foam Pro dressing is designed to protect the skin from breakdown caused by moisture, friction, and shear forces when used as part of a protocol of care. When exposure leads to skin breakdown, learn how AQUACEL® Foam Pro dressings can help protect, defend, and nurture potentially damaged skin.

5-Layers of Technology:
A. Protect Top Layer
• Smooth, breathable, waterproof film helps minimize shear and friction e.g. between bed linens & dressing
• Enables easy cleaning of the dressing which may reduce dressing changes
B. Soft Foam
C. Binding Layer
D. Hydrofiber® Layer
• Multilayered silicone foam powered by Hydrofiber® Technology helps provide a healthy skin microclimate by absorbing and locking away excess moisture from the skin
E. Gentle Silicone Adhesive Layer
• Perforated gentle silicone adhesive layer allows easy application and removal
• Adhesive does not stick to itself

How Hydrofiber® Technology Works

• Hydrofiber® Technology is a soft, absorbent material that transforms into a gel on contact with wound fluid
• The gelling action creates an optimal environment for wound healing

Locks in Exudate and Traps Bacteria
• Helps protect periwound skin and reduce maceration
• May help to minimize wound and cross-infection during removal

Micro-Contours to Wound Bed

• Minimizes “dead space” where bacteria can grow
• Maintains moisture balance in the wound bed

Respond to wound fluid levels by forming a cohesive gel
• Forms a cohesive gel when in contact with exudates
• Provides rapid and sustained antimicrobial activity on demand (dressings with ionic silver)
