AQUACEL® Hydrofiber® Technology

AQUACEL® Ag Foam Dressings feature unique Hydrofiber® Technology that:
  • Micro-contours to the wound bed, reducing spaces where bacteria can grow.
  • Locks in exudate and bacteria through vertical wicking, limiting lateral spread and reducing peri-wound maceration.
  • Transforms into a gel on contact with wound fluid, promoting a moist environment conducive to healing.
  • Facilitates autolytic debridement, helping to remove sloughy tissue.
