Aquacel Extra Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing, 4 x 5 Inch

ConvaTec Aquacel Extra Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing, 4 x 5 Inch

The ConvaTec Aquacel Extra Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing is an advanced Hydrofiber dressing designed for moderate to highly exuding wounds. It's ideal for anyone managing pressure injuries, leg ulcers, surgical wounds, or other draining wounds who needs a dressing that absorbs heavily while keeping the wound bed protected. Built with two-dimensional strengthening fibers, this Aquacel Extra dressing is engineered to be nine times stronger and 39% more absorbent than a standard Aquacel dressing.

When the dressing contacts wound fluid, its Hydrofiber technology gels on contact, locking exudate into the dressing and away from healthy surrounding skin. This action helps create and maintain a moist wound environment that supports the body's natural healing process and can help skin heal faster. The added strength and durability make the dressing easier to handle and help it stay intact during wear and removal.

This Aquacel Extra dressing measures 4 x 5 inches and is available in multiple purchase options—choose a single dressing or a box of 10 to suit your supply needs. Many home wound-care supplies like this are typically FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred option below to add it to your cart.
