Aqaucel Extra dressing with strengthening fiber is a soft, sterile non-woven dressing made from two layers of hydrofiber (sodium carboxymethylcellulose) dressing stitched together with strengthening fibers. This conformable and highly absorbent dressing absorbs wound fluid and creates a soft cohesive gel that intimately micro-contours to the wound bed, maintains a moist environment which supports the body's healing process and aids in the removal of necrotic material from the wound (autolytic debridement) without damaging newly formed tissue. Aquacel Extra dressing is designed to make it 9X stronger and provides an increased absorbency of 39% higher than current Aquacel dressing.
