Aquacel Foam

Non-Adhesive Foam Dressing

Everything you expect from a foam - and more.

AQUACEL® Foam offers you the comfort and simplicity of a foam together with the benefits of Hydrofiber ™ Technology.

AQUACEL® Foam offers you:

A waterproof top layer that allows moisture to evaporate, provides a barrier against viruses and bacteria * 1 while protecting the wound and allowing the patient to shower or bathe
A soft foam layer that improves patient comfort and absorbs exudate
A layer of Hydrofiber ™ with silver ions that gels on contact with exudate creating an optimal environment for wound healing
A soft silicone border that ensures a safe and gentle adhesion to the skin, facilitates dressing removal and is proven not to damage the delicate granulating tissue of the wound2

Hydrofiber ™ Technology interacts with AQUACEL® Foam:

Reduces pain when dressing is in situ, 3-6
When gelled, it promotes atraumatic dressing removal
Does not damage the delicate granulating tissue of the wound during dressing changes
Upon removal, results in low cellular adhesion in both wet and dry environments * 7

And there is more. AQUACEL® Foam can be included in a complete treatment protocol to protect the patient's skin from damage caused by friction and humidity, and from related complications such as
pressure ulcers.

ConvaTec's Hydrofiber ™ technology - the first and best technology with gelling action - gives AQUACEL® dressings formidable properties.
