ConvaTec Aquacel Foam Dressing

The ConvaTec Aquacel Foam Dressing is an advanced wound dressing designed for individuals managing moderate to heavily exuding wounds, including pressure injuries, leg and foot ulcers, and surgical or traumatic wounds. It is the only foam dressing that combines comfort and simplicity with the proven healing benefits of Hydrofiber Technology, making it a trusted choice for both caregivers and healthcare professionals seeking effective moisture management.

At the heart of this dressing is the Aquacel interface, powered by Hydrofiber Technology, which gels on contact with wound fluid to lock in exudate, including its harmful components. Its vertical wicking action draws fluid straight up and away from the wound bed rather than spreading it laterally, helping to reduce the risk of maceration to surrounding healthy skin. The dressing also micro-contours to the wound bed to minimize dead space where bacteria can grow, while the soft, absorbent foam pad enhances patient comfort and manages excess fluid.

This dressing features a waterproof outer barrier that guards against viral and bacterial penetration, supporting a cleaner healing environment. It is available in multiple options contact us for details on your selected configuration doso you can order a single dressing or a box of 10 to suit your needs.
