AQUACEL Foam Adhesive Sacral Dressing 20×16.9 cm Pack of 5

AQUACEL Foam Adhesive Sacral Dressing by ConvaTec is a medical dressing designed to cover wounds in the sacral area, located in the lower back just above the buttocks. It combines an absorbent foam pad with a Hydrofiber wound-contact layer, skin-friendly silicone adhesive borders, and a waterproof outer layer.

Upon contact with wound exudate, the Hydrofiber layer helps form a gel that retains exudate within the dressing, while the foam pad absorbs excess fluid and provides cushioning and protection. Its anatomical design is shaped to fit the sacral area, helping keep the dressing securely in place while allowing for gentle application and removal. The product is used to manage wounds with exudate, as assessed by a healthcare professional.
