• Hydrofiber Technology conforms closely to the wound surface, helping to minimize dead space
• Rapidly turns to a clear gel on contact with fluid
• Minimizes dead space where harmful bacteria can thrive
• Recommended as secondary dressing over AQUACEL or over AQUACEL Ag dressing

• Hydrofiber Technology:
  Hydrofiber Technology is a patented technology in which fibers of high-quality cellulose are carboxymethylated altering its structure to allow better absorbency and retention of fluid. These fibers are then processed to mesh them together to form a stable fleece layer. When exposed to‚ fluid, the fibers swell to form a clear, soft, cohesive gel structure that closely conforms to the wound bed. As the fibers swell, the fluid and its contents (eg bacteria and other inflammatory cells and enzymes) are trapped and held within the dressing. 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.
