AQUACEL FOAM WOUND DRESSING ADHESIVE

AQUACEL® Foam dressing has a soft absorbent Foam pad, an AQUACEL® interface, a gentle silicone adhesive, and a waterproof/bacteria barrier.  

AQUACEL® foam dressing offers comfort and simplicity, plus the healing benefits of an AQUACEL® interface

• Water Proof/Bacteria Barrier provides
  - Evaporation of excess moisture
  - A waterproof barrier against viral/bacterial penetration
  - Allows patient to shower and bathe
• Soft Absorbent FOAM pad enhances patient comfort and absorbs excess fluid
• AQUACEL® interface gels on contact with wound exudate to maintain a moist environment
  - Locks in wound exudate, including harmful components
  - Vertical wicking prevents lateral spread of fluid, reducing risk of maceration
  - Micro-contours to the wound bed, minimizing dead space where bacteria can grow

     AQUACEL® interface in AQUACEL® foam dressing also:

• Reduces pain while dressing is in situ
• In its gelled state supports non-traumatic dressing removal
• Does not damage tender, granulating wound tissue during dressing changes

• Gentle silicone border designed to adhere to surrounding skin, not to the wound bed
  - Skin-friendly adhesive supports simple application and removal
  - Demonstrated low potential for dermal irritation or allergic contact sensitization.

• Upon removal, AQUACEL® foam dressing resulted in low cellular adhesion in both wet and dry environments.

• AQUACEL® Foam Dressing is designed to Protect the Against Skin Breakdown caused by excess moisture, friction or shear force
