AQUACEL® Family of Dressings
AQUACEL® launched 25 years ago with a breakthrough technology — Hydrofiber®
Over that time, we have seen so much change, so much innovation, and a fair few challenges along the way. But throughout it all, we’ve been by the side of clinicians and patients, providing the highest quality dressings and support. Since then, we’ve never stopped innovating.
Today, the AQUACEL® family includes a wide range of wound dressings — including AQUACEL® Extra, AQUACEL® Foam, AQUACEL® Surgical and AQUACEL® Foam Pro.
In addition, our AQUACEL® Ag+ dressings are the #1 antimicrobial dressings today1, combining the infection-fighting power of ionic silver with the unique capabilities of Hydrofiber® Technology.
Wound Hygiene
We understand that biofilm is a major cause of hard-to-heal wounds. We believe every wound, no matter how challenging, can progress to healing.
Just as we follow basic hygiene every day by washing our hands, brushing our teeth and showering, we should apply basic hygiene to wounds to keep them clean and remove biofilm. By implementing Wound Hygiene™, you can ensure every wound is properly prepared for healing every time.
