Aquacel Foam Adhesive is a sterile, multi-layered dressing designed for the management of exuding wounds. It features a soft absorbent foam pad, a waterproof top film that acts as a barrier against external contaminants, and a gentle silicone adhesive border. The integrated Hydrofiber layer gels on contact with wound fluid, locking in exudate to help create a moist healing environment and protect the surrounding skin.
Features

Soft and absorbent foam pad enhances patient comfort and absorbs excess fluid.
Hydrofiber layer transforms into a soft gel on contact with wound fluid, locking in exudate and bacteria.

Designed to maintain a moist wound environment to support the healing process.
How To Use
Before applying the dressing, clean the wound area with an appropriate wound cleanser and dry the surrounding skin.
Choose a dressing size to ensure the central absorbent pad is larger than the wound area.
Remove the dressing from the sterile package and peel back the release liner.
Centre the foam pad over the wound and apply the adhesive border to the dry, intact skin surrounding the wound.
Smooth down the adhesive border to ensure secure placement.
The dressing can be worn for up to seven days, depending on the wound condition and the amount of exudate. Change the dressing when it is clinically indicated (e.g., if leakage occurs).
