Description

AQUACEL^® EXTRA™ Hydrofiber^® Dressing with Strengthening Fibre is a soft, sterile, non-woven pad dressing composed of sodium carboxymethylcellulose and regenerated cellulose fibre for strengthening.

This conformable and highly absorbent dressing absorbs wound fluid and transforms into a soft gel, which maintains a moist environment to support the body’s healing process and aid in the removal of nonviable tissue from the wound (autolytic debridement), without damaging newly formed tissue.

Indications:

Under medical supervision AQUACEL^® EXTRA™ Hydrofiber^® Dressing with Strengthening Fibre may be used for the management of:

• leg ulcers, pressure ulcers (Stage II-IV) and diabetic ulcers
• surgical wounds (e.g., post-operative wounds left to heal by secondary intent and donor sites),
• partial thickness burns.
• traumatic wounds (e.g., abrasions and lacerations).
• exudate absorption in oncology wounds (e.g., fungating cutaneous tumours, cutaneous metastases and Kaposi’s sarcomas).
