Convatec Aquacel Extra Hydrofiber Square Dressing 4" x 4" - Box of 10

🔷 Product Overview

The AQUACEL® EXTRA™ Hydrofiber® Dressing 4" x 4" (10 x 10 cm) from Convatec combines advanced absorbency with enhanced strength to support the management of moderate to heavily exuding wounds. Featuring two layers of proprietary Hydrofiber® Technology stitched together, this highly absorbent dressing absorbs wound fluid and transforms into a soft cohesive gel that helps maintain an optimal moist wound healing environment.

Designed to be stronger and more absorbent than standard AQUACEL® dressings, AQUACEL® EXTRA™ is 9 times stronger and offers 39% greater absorbency, helping maintain dressing integrity during wear and removal. The dressing conforms closely to the wound bed, helping minimize dead space while supporting autolytic debridement and protecting newly formed tissue.

Soft, sterile, and non-adhesive, AQUACEL® EXTRA™ provides reliable fluid management while remaining gentle on healing tissue. It is suitable for a wide range of acute and chronic wounds requiring advanced absorbency and moisture balance.
