Aquacel Extra Hydrofiber Dressing is an advanced wound dressing composed of Hydrofiber Technology, designed to manage moderate to highly exuding wounds. This dressing is composed of two layers of Hydrofiber Technology stitched together, making it nine times stronger and 39% more absorbent than the original Aquacel dressing. The enhanced strength and absorption capabilities make it an excellent choice for managing chronic and acute wounds, promoting a moist wound healing environment and reducing the risk of infection and maceration. Aquacel Extra Hydrofiber Dressing Key Features: Enhanced Absorption: 39% greater absorbency to manage high levels of exudate effectively. Increased Strength: Nine times stronger than standard Aquacel dressings to withstand challenging wound conditions. Moist Wound Healing Environment: Maintains optimal moisture balance to support faster healing and minimize pain during dressing changes. Conformability: Contours closely to the wound bed, eliminating dead space where bacteria can grow. Indications: Leg ulcers (venous, arterial, mixed etiology) Diabetic foot ulcers Pressure ulcers/injuries Surgical wounds Traumatic wounds Usage Instructions: Cleanse the wound with saline and dry the surrounding skin. Apply Aquacel Extra dressing directly onto the wound, ensuring it overlaps the wound edges by at least 1cm. Cover with an appropriate secondary dressing such as a foam or absorbent pad. The dressing can be left in place for up to 7 days, depending on the level of exudate. Precautions: If signs of infection persist or worsen, seek medical advice. Ensure appropriate coverage and securement of the dressing to optimize its performance.
