The sacral-contoured design features a waterproof polyurethane film barrier, multi-layered absorbent foam core, and a perforated gentle silicone adhesive contact layer that minimises peri-wound maceration and facilitates atraumatic removal. It is indicated for moderate to heavily exuding sacral pressure injuries, post-surgical sacral wounds, and chronic wounds requiring sustained moist wound healing under compression therapy.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AQUACEL Foam Adhesive Sacral Dressing is an advanced wound management device engineered by ConvaTec specifically for the sacral anatomical region. The dressing integrates Hydrofiber Technology with a multi-layered foam construction to deliver controlled vertical absorption of wound exudate while maintaining an optimal moist wound environment conducive to autolytic debridement and granulation tissue formation. The sacral contour ensures conformability to the complex curvature of the sacrococcygeal area, reducing edge lift and minimising the risk of shear-related complications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike conventional foam dressings, the AQUACEL Foam Adhesive Sacral variant employs a perforated silicone adhesive border that provides secure fixation without adhering to the wound bed or fragile peri-wound skin. The waterproof polyurethane outer film acts as a bacterial and viral barrier (per EN 13726-2 testing methodology), enabling patients to shower while the dressing remains in situ. This dressing is designed for use under compression bandaging systems and negative pressure wound therapy interfaces where clinically appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConvaTec Ltd\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAQUACEL Foam Adhesive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREF \/ Catalogue Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e420623\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDressing Size (Overall)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 cm x 16.9 cm (8 in x 6.7 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbsorbent Pad Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.4 cm x 13.5 cm (4.5 in x 5.3 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSacral contour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDressing Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFive-layer: waterproof PU film, foam absorption layer, binding layer, Hydrofiber interface, perforated silicone adhesive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdhesive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePerforated gentle silicone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbsorption Mechanism\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVertical wicking via Hydrofiber Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWaterproof Barrier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes — polyurethane film, viral and bacterial barrier\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSterility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterile, single use (gamma irradiated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLatex Content\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLatex-free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Wear Time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 7 days (or as clinically indicated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegulatory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCE marked (EU MDR 2017\/745 Class IIb), FDA 510(k) cleared, ISO 13485 certified manufacturing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndividually packaged, sterile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClinical Indications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSacral pressure injuries (Category\/Stage II through IV) with moderate to heavy exudate, as classified under the NPUAP\/EPUAP\/PPPIA international pressure injury staging system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost-surgical sacral wound management requiring waterproof barrier protection and atraumatic dressing changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChronic sacral wounds including venous and mixed-aetiology ulcers presenting in the sacrococcygeal region\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFungating or oncological wounds in the sacral area where exudate management and odour containment are clinical priorities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWound management under compression therapy or negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) systems where a conformable secondary dressing is required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does Hydrofiber Technology differ from standard foam absorption?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHydrofiber Technology absorbs wound exudate vertically into the fibre structure, where it forms a cohesive gel that locks fluid within the dressing matrix. This vertical wicking mechanism reduces lateral spread of exudate across the peri-wound skin, thereby lowering the risk of maceration compared to conventional foam dressings that rely on capillary spread. The mechanism aligns with moist wound healing principles outlined in international wound management guidelines (EWMA, WOCN).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this dressing be used on infected sacral wounds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AQUACEL Foam Adhesive Sacral Dressing is not an antimicrobial dressing and does not contain silver or PHMB. For wounds with confirmed or suspected infection, clinicians should consider the AQUACEL Ag Foam variant, which incorporates ionic silver for broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. All dressing selections for infected wounds should be guided by local antimicrobial stewardship protocols and wound culture results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the recommended dressing change frequency?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dressing may remain in place for up to 7 days, though change intervals should be determined by clinical assessment of exudate saturation, wound progress, and institutional wound care protocols. In heavily exuding acute wounds, more frequent changes (every 1 to 3 days) may be clinically appropriate. The European Wound Management Association (EWMA) recommends individualized dressing change schedules based on wound assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this product available for purchase by healthcare facilities in Singapore?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
