- A waterproof top layer that permits evaporation of excess moisture while protecting against viral/bacterial penetration allowing the patient to shower and bathe

- A soft, absorbent foam pad to enhance patient comfort and absorb excess fluid

- A Hydrofiber layer that gels on contact with wound fluid and helps provide an optimal environment for wound healing

- A gentle silicone adhesive that provides secure, skin-friendly adhesion, easy removal and demonstrated low potential for dermal irritation or allergic contact sensitisation

The Hydrofiber interface in Aquacel Foam dressing:

- Reduces pain while dressing is in situ

- In its gelled state, supports non-traumatic dressing removal

- Does not damage tender, granulating wound tissue during dressing changes

- Upon removal, results in low cellular adhesion in both wet and dry environments
