AquaClear® and AquaClear® Adhesive are transparent, hydrocellular gel dressings made of absorbent polyurethane polymers covered with a semi-permeable polyurethane film to prevent water and micro-organism contamination. The three-dimensional gel composition of AquaClear has a water content of 60%.
AquaClear maintains a moist wound environment to promote the formation of new tissue during the granulation phase. This is achieved with little risk of wound exudate accumulation, even during prolonged application. Granulation tissue is prevented from drying out. During the epithelialization phase, the moist environment created by AquaClear enhances the division and migration of epithelial cells.
Description
Latex-free, sterile, individually sealed
Maintains a moist environment for treating chronic wounds
Will not stick to the wound and may be changed without damaging new tissue
Transparency and Wound Measuring Grid allows the wound to be monitored without removing the dressing
Will not be dissolved by absorbed wound exudates and can be removed from the wound in one piece without residue
Can be secured with a retention tape such as Omnifix® or a conforming bandage such as Flexicon®
AquaClear Adhesive has an adhesive film border to ensure that it stays secure and additionally prevents bacterial penetration. Daily hygiene is simplified with this waterproof surface.
Indications
AquaClear® does not lose its
transparency during use. Thus
the condition of the wound
may be assessed at any time.
AquaClear is especially suitable for the treatment of chronic, slow-healing wounds where the granulation process is not functioning satisfactorily, e.g. in leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, etc.
AquaClear is also used in the treatment of second-degree burns and to promote re-epithelialization at split-skin graft donor sites after bleeding has stopped
AquaClear is an excellent choice for use on painful skin tears
