AQUACEL Foam Adhesive Dressing 12.5×12.5 cm Pack of 10

AQUACEL Foam Adhesive Dressings by ConvaTec are medical dressings that combine an absorbent foam layer with a Hydrofiber wound-contact layer, gentle silicone adhesive borders, and a waterproof outer layer that provides a barrier against bacteria. They are designed to absorb wound exudate and maintain a moist environment conducive to healing, while protecting the wound from external contaminants when used correctly.

The dressing features a soft, flexible design, and its silicone adhesive layer helps secure and gently remove the dressing, reducing pulling on the surrounding skin. It is suitable for superficial wounds with exudate, as assessed by a healthcare professional.
