Aquacel Ribbon Hydrofiber Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing, ¾ x 18 Inch

ConvaTec Aquacel Ribbon Hydrofiber Gelling Fiber Wound Dressing, ¾ x 18 Inch

The ConvaTec Aquacel Ribbon is a Hydrofiber gelling fiber wound dressing designed for packing narrow, deep, or hard-to-reach wounds where a flat dressing simply won't fit. Measuring ¾ inch wide by 18 inches long, this ribbon format is ideal for tunneling wounds, cavity wounds, sinus tracts, and smaller draining wounds. It's a smart choice for anyone managing exuding wounds at home or in a clinical setting who needs reliable absorption and gentle, comfortable packing.

Aquacel Ribbon works using ConvaTec's Hydrofiber technology: as the dressing contacts wound fluid, it absorbs and locks exudate into a soft, cohesive gel that conforms to the shape of the wound bed. This helps maintain a moist wound environment that supports healing while helping to reduce the risk of maceration to surrounding skin. Because the ribbon contains a strengthening fiber, it holds together during placement and removal, making dressing changes cleaner and more comfortable day to day.

This product is available in multiple options so you can order the quantity that fits your routine—choose a Single dressing or a Box of 5. Simply select your preferred option below. As with most home wound-care supplies, this item is typically FSA/HSA eligible. Always follow the guidance of your healthcare provider for wound packing and dressing-change frequency.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: It's designed to pack and manage moderately to heavily exuding wounds, including deep, narrow, or tunneling wounds where a standard flat dressing can't reach.
