Exudate Management
;
Maintaining an optimal balance of exudate can be challenging, but is a critical part of wound care.
Our dressings are designed to manage fluid levels, whilst also maintaining periwound skin integrity and can be used as a secondary dressing in combination with our AQUACEL® products.

AQUACEL® EXTRA™ Dressing
AQUACEL® EXTRA™ Hydrofiber® Dressing with Strengthening Fibre is a soft, sterile, non-woven pad dressing composed of sodium carboxymethylcellulose and regenerated cellulose fibre for strengthening. This conformable and highly absorbent dressing absorbs wound fluid and transforms into a soft gel, which maintains a moist environment to support the body’s healing process and aid in the removal of nonviable tissue from the wound (autolytic debridement), without damaging newly formed tissue. Indications: Under medical supervision AQUACEL® EXTRA™ Hydrofiber® Dressing with Strengthening Fibre may be used for the management of: leg ulcers, pressure ulcers (Stage II-IV) and diabetic ulcers surgical wounds (e.g., post-operative wounds left to heal by secondary intent and donor sites), partial thickness burns. traumatic wounds (e.g., abrasions and lacerations). exudate absorption in oncology wounds (e.g., fungating cutaneous tumours, cutaneous metastases and Kaposi’s sarcomas).
