AQUACEL FOAM DRESSING

Aquacel Foam Adhesive has a waterproof barrier meaning the patient is able to bathe and shower. These are comfortable due to the soft absorbent foam pad and this allow absorbs excess fluid. The skin friendly adhesive ensures simple application and removal. The vertical wicking prevents spread of fluid, which then helps reduce the risk of maceration.

Hold the dressing over the wound and line up the centre of the dressing with the centre of the wound. Place the dressing directly over the wound. Smooth down the adhesive border.

Sterility is guaranteed unless the pouch is opened prior to use or damaged. This is for single use only and should not be reused. During the body's normal healing process, non-viable tissue is removed from the wound, this could make the wound appear larger after the first few dressing changes. If the wound continues to get larger after the first few dressing changes, consult a health care professional.

Should you observe irritation, maceration, excess tissue formation, or an allergic reaction consult a health care professional.
Frequent dressing changes on wounds with damaged or delicate sin surrounding the wound are not recommended. The wound should be inspected during dressing changes. Contact a health care professional if:

• Signs of infection occur (increased pain, bleeding, wound drainage)
• There is a change in wound colour and/or odour
• Any other unexpected symptoms occur

Aquacel Foam can be used on infected wounds only under the care of a health care professional.
