allevyn non adhesive dressings

A waterproof dressing like Aquacel foam is an effective solution to treat infected to low as well as heavy exuding wounds. It forms a protective layer on the wound to prevent it from infection and supports healing.

What is Aquacel Foam?

This pad consists of a polyurethane foam that absorbs excess moisture to minimize the risk of maceration. Its Hydrofiber layer turns into a soft gel on contact with wound exudate to create a moist healing environment. It sticks to the surrounding skin easily with a silicone adhesive border. This effective dressing is also designed with silver to heal infected wounds. The Aquacel foam comes in:
