The Hydrofiber layer absorbs exudate, gels on contact, and locks fluid laterally to maintain a moist wound environment per the WUWHS (World Union of Wound Healing Societies) consensus on moist wound healing. It is indicated for low-to-moderately exuding chronic and acute wounds (pressure ulcers, venous and diabetic foot ulcers, post-operative wounds, partial-thickness burns) and is CE-marked under EU MDR 2017\/745 and registered with HSA Singapore.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAquacel Foam Adhesive is a primary or secondary multi-layer foam dressing manufactured by ConvaTec, designed to manage low to moderate wound exudate while maintaining a moist wound environment that supports autolytic debridement and granulation. The defining feature is the integrated Hydrofiber™ wound-contact layer, composed of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) fibres that, on contact with exudate, transform into a soft, cohesive gel. This gel-locking action retains absorbed fluid within the dressing, reduces lateral wicking onto peri-wound skin, and contributes to maceration prevention — a recognised driver of delayed healing per EWMA (European Wound Management Association) consensus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dressing’s polyurethane foam core provides additional fluid handling capacity, while the silicone-free acrylic adhesive border secures the dressing without aggressive trauma to peri-wound skin on removal. The outer polyurethane film is waterproof and provides a viral and bacterial barrier of ≥25 nm, allowing the dressing to remain in place during showering. Aquacel Foam Adhesive may be left in place for up to 7 days depending on exudate level and clinician assessment, in line with TIME wound bed preparation principles and NICE NG19 (Diabetic foot problems) and NICE CG179 (Pressure ulcers) guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse;

Standard foam dressings absorb exudate into the foam matrix; Aquacel Foam adds a CMC layer that gels on contact and laterally locks fluid, reducing peri-wound maceration. This is documented in ConvaTec’s evidence portfolio and supports the dressing’s positioning for moderate-exudate diabetic foot ulcers and pressure injuries where peri-wound skin protection is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How often should the dressing be changed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Change frequency is determined by exudate strikethrough, clinical signs of infection, and wound assessment — not by a fixed schedule. The dressing supports up to 7 days of wear under low-exudate conditions per the SmPC. NPIAP\/EPUAP guidance recommends change “when exudate or strikethrough indicates,” with documentation each change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can it be used on infected wounds?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Aquacel Foam Adhesive is not antimicrobial. For clinically infected wounds requiring topical antimicrobial cover, ConvaTec’s Aquacel Ag+ Foam (with ionic silver) is the indicated variant per IWII (International Wound Infection Institute) consensus on biofilm management. Aquacel Foam Adhesive (non-silver) may be used on non-infected wounds or in conjunction with systemic antibiotics where topical antimicrobial cover is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the dressing suitable for use under compression bandaging?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. The dressing’s low profile and conformability make it suitable as a primary dressing under multi-component compression systems (e.g. Profore, Coban 2) for venous leg ulcer management per NICE CG168 and SVS\/AVF clinical guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this product available with HSA Singapore registration?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. Aquacel Foam Adhesive is registered with the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) Singapore as a Class B medical device. It also carries CE Mark under EU MDR 2017\/745 and is manufactured to ISO 13485:2016 quality management standards with ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReferences: NPIAP\/EPUAP\/PPPIA Clinical Practice Guideline 2019; IWGDF 2023 Guidelines on Diabetic Foot; NICE NG19 Diabetic foot problems; NICE CG179 Pressure ulcers; ISBI Practice Guidelines for Burn Care; ISTAP Skin Tear Classification; IWII Wound Infection in Clinical Practice 2022; WUWHS Consensus on moist wound healing; CE MDR 2017\/745; ISO 13485:2016; ISO 10993 biocompatibility.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy From EMIS+\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNurse-led Singapore medical supply store — clinical expertise you can trust.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic products with fast island-wide delivery across Singapore.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBulk and recurring orders for home care and nursing facilities are welcome.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuestions about Aquacel Foam Adhesive Wound Dressing 10 x 10 cm Hydrofiber Technology 420680?
