ConvaTec Aquacel Hydrofiber Dressing Ribbon for Chronic Wound Management 403770

Manage high-exuding chronic and cavity wounds with ConvaTec Aquacel Hydrofiber Dressing Ribbon for Chronic Wound Management 403770! This advanced sterile dressing incorporates unique Hydrofiber® Technology—100% sodium carboxymethylcellulose fibers that transform into a soft gel upon contact with wound fluid, locking in exudate and bacteria while maintaining a moist wound environment. The ribbon format with stitchbonding for added strength is ideal for cavity wounds, tunneling, undermining, and deep surgical wounds requiring superior exudate management.*

Advanced Hydrofiber® Technology for Superior Exudate Management:

ConvaTec Aquacel Hydrofiber Dressing Ribbon for Chronic Wound Management 403770 delivers unmatched absorption—up to 30 times its weight in wound fluid. The unique gelling action locks in exudate and bacteria, reducing maceration risk and promoting optimal healing conditions. The ribbon format with strengthening fiber allows easy packing into cavity wounds, tunneling, and undermining while maintaining structural integrity during dressing changes.*

Why Choose ConvaTec Aquacel Hydrofiber Dressing Ribbon for Chronic Wound Management 403770?

Unlike standard gauze or foam dressings, ConvaTec Aquacel Hydrofiber Dressing Ribbon for Chronic Wound Management 403770 delivers superior exudate management through unique Hydrofiber® Technology. The gelling action creates an optimal moist wound healing environment, locks in bacteria to reduce infection risk, and the ribbon format with strengthening fiber allows effective packing of deep, cavity, and tunneling wounds—making this the gold standard for complex wound management.*

The Science of Hydrofiber® Technology:

Hydrofiber® Technology is a revolutionary wound care innovation:

✓ Vertical Wicking - Absorbs exudate vertically into the dressing (not laterally), protecting surrounding skin

✓ Gelling Action - Transforms into soft gel that conforms to wound bed, maintains moist environment

✓ Locks in Bacteria - Traps bacteria within gel matrix, reduces infection risk by up to 86%

✓ High Absorption - Absorbs up to 30x its weight (superior to foam, alginate, gauze)

✓ Easy Removal - Gel integrity maintained during removal, minimizes pain and trauma

Clinical Applications:

Cavity Wounds: Ribbon format ideal for packing deep wounds, surgical cavities

Tunneling and Undermining: Flexible ribbon conforms to wound contours, reaches deep spaces

Chronic Wounds: Diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, venous ulcers with high exudate

Surgical Wounds: Post-operative wounds, dehisced wounds, infected surgical sites

Acute Wounds: Traumatic wounds, burns (second-degree), donor sites

High Exudate Management: Superior absorption for heavily draining wounds

How to Use:

1. Clean wound with saline or appropriate wound cleanser
2. Select appropriate ribbon length (measure wound depth/cavity)
3. Gently pack ribbon into wound cavity, tunneling, or undermining (avoid overpacking)
4. Leave 1-2 cm of ribbon visible at wound surface for easy removal
5. Cover with appropriate secondary dressing (foam, film, or gauze)
6. Change dressing when saturated or as directed by healthcare professional (typically every 1-7 days depending on exudate levels)
7. To remove: gently pull ribbon from wound; gel formation allows easy, atraumatic removal
