AQUACEL Extra 5x5 cm dressing BENEFITS:

Aquacel^® Extra™ absorbs up to 30 times its weight and retain its integrity ^2,3,10,20,30 to minimise risk of excess exudate and leakage even under compression. Its high exudate absorption and retention has shown fewer dressing changes in clinical practice.

Aquacel Extra

Aquacel Extra is a soft, sterile, non-woven wound dressing or tamponade made from sodium carboxymethylcellulose and regenerated cellulose fiber for reinforcement. This highly absorbent dressing absorbs wound exudate and forms a soft gel. The gel keeps the wound moist and creates an optimal wound healing environment. Aquacel supports the healing process and facilitates the removal of dead tissue from the wound (autolytic debridement) without damaging the newly formed tissue.

Indications:
Aquacel Extra is suitable for the treatment of acute and chronic moderately to heavily exuding wounds:

• Leg ulcers, pressure ulcers (grade II-IV) and diabetic ulcers.
• Surgical wounds (e.g. postoperative wounds with secondary healing and split skin graft sites).
• Second degree burns.
• Traumatic wounds (e.g. lacerations, abrasions and cuts).
• Exudate uptake in oncological wounds (ulcerating skin tumors, skin metastases and Kaposi's sarcoma).

Exudate amount:
Moderate to high.

Product characteristics:

• Adaptable.
• Can be cut to size.
• Effective even under compression.
• Easy to apply.
• Supports autolytic debridement.
• Strong even when wet.
• Can be folded to fit any wound.
• Recommended wearing time: maximum 7 days.

Product benefits:

• Adapts precisely to the wound bed and eliminates untreated areas (dead spaces) where bacteria and biofilm can grow.
• Locks in excess exudate, protects the intact wound environment and prevents maceration due to vertical fluid absorption.
• Ensures an optimal moisture balance in the wound to maintain a moist and warm wound healing environment, while the gel helps to minimize pain during dressing changes.
