AQUACEL™ EXTRA™ Dressings are soft, sterile, dressings made from two layers of sodium carboxymethylcellulose stitched together with strengthening fibres. This dressing absorbs high amounts of wound fluid and bacteria and creates a soft, cohesive gel that intimately conforms to the wound surface, maintains a moist environment to support the body’s healing process and aids in the removal of non-viable tissue from the wound (autolytic debridement).
