  ConvaTec’s (Skillman, NJ) AQUACEL® EXTRA™ wound dressing with strengthening fiber is now available in the United States.

  The wound dressing is composed of two layers of Hydrofiber® Technology stitched together. The design makes it nine times stronger than current AQUACEL® wound dressings and gives it an increased absorbency of 39% over the current dressing. The new wound dressing will be specifically suitable when managing moderate to highly exuding wounds.

  AQUACEL® EXTRA™ wound dressing is constructed with two-dimensional strengthening fibers that are stitched into the dressing. While made from the same base material that is used to manufacture Hydrofiber® Technology, the strengthening fibers do not gel on contact with fluid so that they maintain integrity and become encompassed by the gel, providing additional strength and aiding the easy removal from even the deepest wound beds.

  AQUACEL® EXTRA™ wound dressings are available in three sizes: 2”x2” (5x5 cm), 4”x5” (10x12 cm), and 6”x6” (15x15 cm).
