AQUACEL® Hydrofiber® Dressings

Think Of It As Gauze Made Smarter™

AQUACEL® Hydrofiber® Dressing is a sterile, white, fibrous dressing derived from 100% pure sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC). AQUACEL® dressing combines the look, feel, and handling properties of gauze and leading alginates, but retains more fluid than alginates and almost three times more fluid than gauze when used under compression. AQUACEL® dressing is indicated for the management of pressure ulcers, leg ulcers, abrasions, lacerations, incisions, donor sites and second degree burns and on infected wounds; for use in managing surgical or traumatic wounds that have been left to heal by secondary intention. Additionally, it can be used on wounds prone to bleeding and to facilitate the control of minor bleeding.
