The square format features a waterproof polyurethane film barrier, multi-layered foam core, and perforated gentle silicone adhesive border for atraumatic application and removal. It is indicated for moderate to heavily exuding acute and chronic wounds including pressure injuries, venous leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and post-surgical wounds.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AQUACEL Foam Dressing (420619) is a square-format advanced wound care device from ConvaTec designed for the management of moderate to heavily exuding wounds across diverse clinical settings. The dressing employs a five-layer construction that combines a soft absorbent foam pad with an AQUACEL Hydrofiber interface layer, which transforms into a cohesive gel upon contact with wound exudate. This gel formation mechanism traps fluid vertically within the dressing structure, reducing lateral spread and minimising the risk of peri-wound maceration — a critical consideration in chronic wound management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12.5 cm x 12.5 cm adhesive variant incorporates a perforated gentle silicone border that provides secure fixation to intact peri-wound skin without adhering to the wound bed itself. The outermost layer is a breathable yet waterproof polyurethane film that serves as a barrier against bacterial and viral penetration (tested per EN 13726-2), enabling patients to shower with the dressing in situ. The dressing is latex-free and suitable for use under compression bandaging systems commonly employed in venous leg ulcer management protocols.\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\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\u003e420619\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\u003e12.5 cm x 12.5 cm (5 in x 5 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSquare, adhesive border\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 with gel formation\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 (EN 13726-2)\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\u003eBox of 10, individually sterile-packaged\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\u003ePressure injuries (Category\/Stage II through IV) with moderate to heavy exudate output, per NPUAP\/EPUAP\/PPPIA classification guidelines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVenous leg ulcers managed under compression therapy, where a conformable absorbent dressing with waterproof barrier is required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiabetic foot ulcers requiring moisture balance and protection from external contamination during offloading protocols\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost-surgical wounds and donor sites with moderate exudate levels requiring atraumatic dressing changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePartial-thickness burns and traumatic wounds (lacerations, abrasions, skin tears) in acute care settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOncological and fungating wounds where exudate management and gentle adhesion are clinical priorities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Hydrofiber interface layer function within the foam construction?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hydrofiber interface layer is positioned between the wound bed and the foam absorption core. Upon contact with wound exudate, the Hydrofiber fibres absorb fluid and transform into a soft cohesive gel that conforms intimately to the wound surface. This gel locks exudate vertically within the dressing, preventing lateral wicking that can cause maceration of surrounding intact skin. The mechanism supports the principles of moist wound healing as recommended by the European Wound Management Association (EWMA).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this dressing be used with compression bandaging for venous leg ulcers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The AQUACEL Foam Dressing 12.5 x 12.5 cm is designed to function effectively under compression systems. The vertical absorption mechanism maintains performance under compression forces, and the low-profile construction minimises pressure points beneath bandaging. International guidelines (EWMA, WOCN Society) recommend foam dressings with absorbent capacity as primary dressings in compression therapy protocols for venous leg ulcers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat differentiates this from the AQUACEL Ag Foam variant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard AQUACEL Foam (420619) does not contain antimicrobial agents. The AQUACEL Ag Foam variant incorporates 1.2% ionic silver within the Hydrofiber layer, providing broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against common wound pathogens including MRSA and VRE. Clinicians should select the Ag variant when managing wounds with confirmed or suspected biofilm or critical colonisation, guided by local antimicrobial stewardship protocols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this product suitable for paediatric wound care?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AQUACEL Foam Dressing may be used on paediatric patients when the wound size and exudate level are appropriate for the 12.5 cm x 12.5 cm format. The gentle silicone adhesive is particularly advantageous in paediatric care, as it minimises pain and skin trauma during dressing removal — a consideration emphasised in paediatric wound care consensus guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow can Singapore healthcare facilities order this product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMIS (Essential Medical International Supplies Pte Ltd) is an authorised distributor of ConvaTec wound care products in Singapore.
