AQUACEL® launched over 25 years ago with a breakthrough technology - Hydrofiber®
Since then, we've never stopped innovating.
Today, the AQUACEL® family includes a wide range of wound dressings - including AQUACEL® Foam Pro, AQUACEL® Extra™, AQUACEL® Foam, and AQUACEL® Surgical.
Our AQUACEL® Ag+ dressings are the #1 anti-microbial dressings today¹, combining the infection-fighting power of ionic silver with the unique capabilities of Hydrofiber® Technology.
Hydrofiber® Technology
Hydrofiber® Technology is a soft, absorbent material that transforms into a gel on contact with wound fluid. This gelling action creates an optimal environment for wound healing.
