Aquacel Foam Pro

Aquacel Foam Pro

• AQUACEL  Foam Pro is the most advanced foam dressing made by ConvaTec that blends the advantages of silicone foam with the unique benefit of Hydrofiber(r) technology to manage exudates - specifically developed to facilitate healing for acute and chronic wounds.
• AQUACEL(r) Foam Pro has an extra layer of protection that is a soft, breathable polyurethane film that manages the evaporation (MVTR) of wound fluid. It shields it from infection and reduces the risk of disease. The base structure of this bandage is a multi-layer bandage that incorporates Hydrofiber(r) technology that ensures a healthy microclimate over the skin. Furthermore, it features vertical absorption, which encases the fluid from the wound in the bandage and decreases spread to the lateral. It reduces the chance of maceration and leakage to the surrounding skin, even in compression.
• AQUACEL(r) Foam Pro is a highly effective fluid management system that improves patient comfort. It is especially ideal for patients who have sensitive and fragile skin. It could be utilized as a leading foam bandage to:
  • It is moderately bleeding and exuding wounds.
  • Chronic wounds: leg ulcers, pressure ulcers (categories II-IV), diabetic foot ulcers
  • Acute wounds: They can be used for surgery wounds (postoperative incisions, secondary healing wounds, donor surfaces) and partial burns on the skin or tears and abrasions to the skin.
• AQUACEL(r) Foam Pro has an easy-to-use silicone adhesive, which ensures an enduring and comfortable adhesion. The bandage is replaced after a clinical indication and an interval period of 7 days.
• Efficient layers for reliable exudate handling.
• An) Waterproof protective film The waterproof and breathable film facilitates fluid handling by evaporation and exudate filtration and shielding it from outside pressures.
• B) The core of the bandage is made up of the exclusive Hydrofiber(r) layer that can gel upon contact with the liquid. Because of its vertical absorption, this keeps the exudate away from the wound as well as the skin surrounding the injury. It decreases the chance of spreading to the lateral side and the possibility of maceration.
• E) Perforated self-adhesive and silicone wound contact layer: Secure adhesion and simple application and removal due to the perforated skin-friendly silicone layer.

Excess wound fluid causes skin maceration and wound breakdown: Unlike other foam dressings, the Hydrofiber core in AQUACEL Foam Pro absorbs, retains and locks away excess exudate directly into its fibres, preventing lateral spread and thereby reducing the risk of maceration. Unlike other foam dressings, the Hydrofiber core in AQUACEL Foam Pro absorbs, retains and locks away excess exudate directly into its fibres, preventing lateral spread and thereby reducing the risk of maceration.

Layers of absorption:

• Stays in place for up to 7 days, while absorbing and balancing exudate with Hydrofiber Technology.
• Protective top layer Waterproof yet breathable, the top layer helps manage moisture vapour of the exudate, while protecting the wound from external contaminants.
• Dressing core Includes a unique Hydrofiber Technology layer that gels on contact with exudate. Using vertical wicking, it locks exudate safely away from the wound and peri-wound skin, reducing the risk of lateral spread or maceration.
• Gentle adhesive silicone layer Perforated for skin-friendly application and removal.

Ultimate flexibility:

• Exudate managed Hydrofiber Technology has been relied on by HCPs for 25 years for its unrivalled absorption and ability to lock exudate away from the wound – even under compression.
• Deterioration prevented Unlike traditional foam dressings, the unique vertical gelling action absorbs, retains and locks away harmful components such as bacteria and excess exudate directly into its fibres which prevents lateral spread and thereby reducing the risk of maceration.
• Flexible & conformable AQUACEL Foam Pro’s secure silicone adhesive wound contact layer lets you apply to even the most challenging areas of a patient’s body.

Daily confidence:

• Up to 7 days wear-time For consistent protection from leaks, with minimal dressing changes required.
