Aquacel Silicone Adhesive with Border Silicone Foam Dressing, 5 x 5 Inch

ConvaTec Aquacel Silicone Adhesive with Border Silicone Foam Dressing, 5 x 5 Inch

The ConvaTec Aquacel Silicone Foam Dressing is an advanced wound dressing designed for individuals managing moderately to heavily exuding wounds who need reliable protection, comfort, and a moist healing environment. Combining a soft absorbent foam pad, a proven Aquacel gelling interface, and a gentle silicone border, this dressing supports healing while keeping the surrounding skin healthy and intact.

At the heart of this dressing is the Aquacel interface, which gels on contact with wound exudate to maintain an optimal moist environment. It locks in fluid, including harmful components, and uses vertical wicking to draw exudate up into the foam rather than spreading it sideways, helping reduce the risk of maceration to the skin around the wound. The interface micro-contours to the wound bed to minimize dead space where bacteria could grow, while the outer film acts as a waterproof, bacterial and viral barrier that still allows excess moisture to evaporate\ortably\so you can shower and bathe with confidence.

The gentle silicone adhesive border is designed to adhere to the surrounding skin but not to the wound bed, supporting easy, low-trauma application and removal. It has demonstrated low potential for dermal irritation or allergic contact sensitization, making it a skin-friendly choice for sensitive or fragile skin. This dressing measures 5 x 5 inches with a 3.3 x 3.3 inch central pad and is available as a single dressing or a box of 10\so you can order the quantity that fits your needs. This item may be FSA/HSA eligible. Please select your option below.
