AQUACEL Family of Dressings
Designed to Help Protect the Skin from Breakdown
AQUACEL Foam Pro dressing is designed to protect the skin from breakdown caused by moisture, friction, and shear forces when used as part of a protocol of care. When exposure leads to skin breakdown, learn how AQUACEL Foam Pro dressings can help protect, defend, and nurture potentially damaged skin.
A. Protect Top Layer
- Smooth, breathable, waterproof film helps minimize shear and friction e.g. between bed linens & dressing
- Enables easy cleaning of the dressing which may reduce dressing changes
B. Soft Foam
C. Binding Layer
D. Hydrofiber Layer
- Multilayered silicone foam powered by Hydrofiber Technology helps provide a healthy skin microclimate by absorbing and locking away excess moisture from the skin
E. Gentle Silicone Adhesive Layer
- Perforated gentle silicone adhesive layer allows easy application and removal
- Adhesive does not stick to itself
BENEFITS
When Exposure Leads to Breakdown
Shearing force - friction keeps the skin in place against the support surface while gravity forces the patient's body to the foot of the bed.
Friction and shear forces cause damage to skin and tissue
- Friction can result in redness, inflammation and sometimes blistering and can be caused by movement of a patient across surfaces such as clothes or bed linen.
- Shear forces can result in deformation of skin and tissues, occlusion of blood vessels and ischemia-induced damage.
Excess moisture makes skin more susceptible to damage from shear forces
-
Perspiration, feces, and urine are all common sources of excess moisture.
The NPUAP Guidelines Recommend Considering the Following When Selecting a Foam Dressing
Microclimate
- Consider the ability of the dressing to manage skin microclimate
Ease of application
- Consider the ease of application and removal
- Consider the ability to regularly assess the skin
