The AQUACEL® BURN Hydrofiber® Dressing Reinforced with Nylon, absorbent dressing is a soft, sterile, non-woven hydroentangled dressing comprised of Hydrofiber® with nylon thread used to stitch bond the product along the length. This conformable and highly absorbent dressing absorbs wound fluid and creates a soft gel which maintains a moist environment which supports the body’s healing process and aids in the removal of unnecessary material from the wound (Autolytic debridement), without damaging newly formed tissue.
Under the supervision of a healthcare provider, the AQUACEL® BURN Hydrofiber® Dressing is indicated mainly for the management of Partial thickness (second degree) burns and wounds that are prone to bleeding, such as wounds that have been mechanically or surgically debrided and donor sites. Additionally, it can also be used for other indications such as diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers (venous stasis ulcers, arterial ulcers and leg ulcers of mixed etiology), pressure ulcers/sores (partial & full thickness), surgical wounds left to heal by secondary intention such as dehisced surgical incisions, surgical wounds that heal by primary intention such as dermatological and surgical incisions (e.g., orthopedic and vascular), dermatological wounds, traumatic wounds, painful wounds.
