Aquacel Extra Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing, Sterile, 4" x 5"

The Aquacel Extra Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing from ConvaTec is a hydrofiber dressing engineered for wounds that require serious absorbency and reliable protection. Measuring 4 x 5 inches and packaged sterile, this dressing is built with two-dimensional strengthening fibers, making it nine times stronger and 39% more absorbent than a standard Aquacel dressing. That added strength means the dressing holds together during removal, reducing the risk of fiber residue being left behind in the wound bed.

Designed for moderate to highly exuding wounds, Aquacel Extra gels on contact with wound fluid, forming a soft, cohesive gel that conforms closely to the wound surface. This gelling action helps lock in exudate and creates a moist wound environment, which is widely recognized as supportive of faster, more effective healing compared to leaving a wound to dry out. The moist environment also helps minimize trauma to new tissue when the dressing is changed.

Clinicians and caregivers managing wounds with heavier drainage often look for a dressing that can keep pace with fluid output while still being easy to remove intact. This gelling fiber wound dressing is intended to be used as part of a broader wound care regimen and typically requires a secondary dressing to hold it in place. Its sterile packaging and rectangular shape make it straightforward to size and apply to a range of wound presentations.

For facilities and home caregivers stocking advanced wound care supplies, Aquacel Extra offers a dependable option for exuding wounds that need both strength and high fluid-handling capacity in a single dressing.
