What to buy with ConvaTec Sterile Wound Dressing?

Hydrofiber Technology

Hydrofiber Technology is a patented technology in which fibres of high-quality cellulose are carboxymethylated altering its structure to allow better absorbency and retention of fluid. When exposed to fluid, the fibres swell to form a clear, soft, cohesive gel structure that closely conforms to the wound bed. In addition, the gelling action prevents lateral spread of fluid through the dressing to reduce the risk of maceration and promote a moist wound healing environment

Locks Exudate & Traps Bacteria

Helps protect peri-wound skin and reduce maceration
May help to minimize wound and cross-infection during removal

Micro-Contours to Wound Bed

Minimizes “dead space” where bacteria can grow
Maintains moisture balance in the wound bed

Responds to wound fluid levels

Forms a cohesive gel when in contact with exudates
Provides rapid and sustained antimicrobial activity on demand (dressings with ionic silver)

Aquaseal Ribbon Dressing Applications

Sinus tracts (post-procedure)
Suture lines
Fingers and toes of paediatric patients (burns, abrasions)
Orthopaedic pin insertion sites
Tube insertion site (g-tube, percutaneous endoscopic gastronomy)
Finger or toe degloving
Circumcision sites

Caution:

Use under the supervision of a healthcare professional

How to apply Aquacel Sterile Wound Dressing?

Use a cleansing solution on the wound surface and the surrounding skin, and dry the skin thoroughly
Loosely pack ribbon or pad into deep wounds to about 80% of the depth of the wound to accommodate swelling of the dressing
Leave a small overhang (at least 2.5 cm or 1 inch) to facilitate removal
Excess dressing can be cut to size without shedding fibers
Cover the ribbon or pad with a moisture-retentive dressing
Secure the dressing with hypoallergenic tape, if necessary

How to Remove the Aquacel dressing?

Grasp one corner of the dressing and carefully lift away from wound
In the unlikely event of adhesion to the wound bed, the dressing can be easily removed by soaking
