AQUACEL® SURGICAL cover dressings are an easy-to-use, single-product solution to the post-operative management of surgical incisions. They are designed to enhance clinical outcomes and facilitate patient mobility. AQUACEL® Surgical Cover Dressings have been designed to be used as a primary dressing. AQUACEL® Surgical Cover Dressings may be used with the direction of a healthcare professional, for the management of acute, surgical wounds.
Evidence supports that, compared to a non-woven post-operative surgical cover dressing regimen, AQUACEL® SURGICAL cover dressings.1a, 2b:
- Reduce surgical site infection (SSI)
- Reduce skin blistering
- Reduce delayed discharge
- Require fewer dressing changes
AQUACEL® Surgical Cover Dressings are indicated for the management of acute, surgical wounds.
AQUACEL® Surgical Cover Dressings should not be used on individuals who are sensitive to or who had an allergic reaction to the dressing or any of its components including colophony or its derivatives.
Notes:
- A post-operative regimen using Mephore™ dressing covering AQUACEL® dressing was compared to a new dressing regimen of DuoDERM® Extra Thin dressing covering AQUACEL® dressing after application of a liquid film forming acrylate. A subsequent study demostrated no enhancement of the new dressing regimen by the acrylate.
- Equivalent performance of AQUACEL™ SURGICAL cover dressing to DuoDERM® Extra Thin dressing covering AQUACEL® dressing demonstrated in in vitro testing.
