DermaRite AquaRite Extra CMC Wound Dressing, Sterile, 4" x 5"

The DermaRite AquaRite Extra CMC Wound Dressing is a sterile, gelling fiber dressing designed for moderate to heavily exuding wounds. Made from sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) combined with strengthening cellulose fibers, this soft, nonwoven dressing conforms closely to the wound bed to support an optimal moist wound healing environment.

As the dressing absorbs wound exudate, it transforms into a cohesive gel that traps bacteria and debris within its fiber structure, helping to reduce the risk of contamination while promoting autolytic debridement. Unlike dressings that break down when saturated, AquaRite Extra CMC maintains its integrity even at full capacity, allowing for clean, intact removal during dressing changes and minimizing trauma to fragile periwound tissue.

This 4 x 5 inch rectangle dressing offers high vertical wicking action, drawing fluid up and away from the wound surface rather than spreading it laterally. This helps protect the surrounding skin from maceration, a common complication in wound care management. The enhanced conformability of this gelling fiber dressing allows it to adapt to a variety of wound contours, making it a versatile choice for clinicians and caregivers managing draining wounds.

Each dressing is individually packaged and sterile, ready for immediate clinical or home healthcare use. Whether used as a primary dressing under secondary coverage or as part of a broader wound care protocol, the AquaRite Extra CMC dressing from DermaRite delivers reliable absorption and gentle, effective wound management.

What type of wounds is the DermaRite AquaRite Extra CMC dressing designed for?
This gelling fiber dressing is designed for wounds with moderate to heavy exudate, where absorption and moist wound healing support are needed.
What is the AquaRite Extra CMC dressing made of?
It is made from a soft, nonwoven blend of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and strengthening cellulose fibers.
Does this dressing fall apart when saturated with fluid?
No. The dressing maintains its structure even when fully saturated, which helps facilitate clean and intact removal.
How does this dressing help prevent skin maceration?
It features high vertical absorption, drawing exudate upward into the fiber dressing rather than spreading it across the surrounding skin, helping protect it from maceration.
Is the DermaRite AquaRite Extra CMC dressing sterile?
Yes, each 4 x 5 inch rectangle dressing is sterile and intended for single use.
