Benefits

• Soft, conformable, multi-layered dressings containing superabsorbent fibers and Hydrofiber® Technology
• Aquacel® Hydrofiber® Technology responds by gelling on contact with wound exudate to maintain a moist wound environment, vertically wicking to reduce risk of maceration and micro-contouring to minimize dead space where bacteria can proliferate
• ConvaFoam™ Silicone and Border feature an enhanced silicone with improved skin-friendly adhesion
• Superabsorbent fibers increase the fluid handling capacity of the family of dressings
• Outer film layer provides a showerproof barrier to viruses and bacteria that also aids in the management of moisture vapor transmission of exudate absorbed by the dressing

Mode of Use/Application

Ensure the skin surrounding the wound is free from creams and moisturizers which could prevent the dressing from sticking. Before applying the dressing cleanse with a suitable wound cleanser and dry the surrounding skin. If a moisture barrier is required, select a spray or liquid that will dry before dressing application. Choose an appropriate dressing size where the central absorbent pad is at least 1cm larger than the wound. If applying to intact skin, choose a dressing which covers the entire vulnerable area. Remove the dressing form the sterile pouch. Remove the release liner and try to avoid touching the adhesive surface. Hold dressing over the wound or area of skin to be protected and line up the center of the dressing with the center of the wound or area of skin to be protected. Ensure not to stretch the dressing during application. Smooth down the adhesive border. Ensure joints are sufficiently flexed to allow patient mobility. Dressings can be cut to fit. Use additional tape or film dressing to create a seal.
