AQUACEL® Extra™ is the newest addition to the AQUACEL® family of products. AQUACEL® Extra™ Dressing provides added strength and absorption compared to AQUACEL®Dressing, for when greater efficiencies are desired.
It is a soft, sterile, non-woven pad or ribbon dressing composed of hydrocolloid fibres (sodium carboxymethylcellulose). This conformable and highly absorbent dressing absorbs wound fluid and creates a soft gel which maintains a moist environment which supports the body’s healing process and aids in the removal of unnecessary material from the wound (autolytic debridement), without damaging new formed tissue.
AQUACELÂ® HydrofiberÂ® is classified as an Exudate Management dressing.
AQUACELÂ® HydrofiberÂ® dressings provide an environment that stimulates angiogenesis and re-epithelisation.
