DESCRIPTION
Aquacel Foam Pro Sacral
AQUACEL Foam Pro Sacral is the advanced foam dressing from ConvaTec that combines the benefits of silicone foam with the unrivalled advantage of Hydrofiber Technology for exudate management – designed to promote wound healing of chronic and acute wounds. AQUACEL stays in place without folding onto clothes or material – even on hard-to-dress areas.
Layers of Absorption
- Protective Top Layer – Polyurethane foam manages moisture vapor of the exudate while protecting the wound from external contaminants. Waterproof yet breathable, this layer reduces infection.
- Dressing Core – Non-woven Hydrofiber (sodium carboxymethylcellulose) gels on contact with exudate. Using vertical wicking, it locks exudate and bacteria safely away from the wound and peri-wound skin, reducing the risk of lateral spread or maceration. Keeping this fluid close allows the dressing to utilize the moisture to promote faster healing. This supports the body’s healing process and aids in the removal of non-viable tissue from the wound (autolytic debridement) without damaging tissue.
- Gentle Adhesive Silicone Layer – Flexible and conformable, the silicone adhesive allows you to apply to even the most challenging areas. Its reliable and perforated for skin-friendly application and removal. The adhesive does not stick to gloves or to itself.

How to Use Aquacel Foam Pro Sacral
- Choose a dressing size to ensure that the central absorbent pad is 1cm larger than the wound area. The dressing can be cut to shape for convenience.
- Remove the dressing from the sterile pack, minimizing finger contact with the adhesive surface where applicable.
- Remove the release liner.
- Hold the dressing over the wound or area of skin to be protected, and line up the center of the dressing with the center of the wound.
- Place pad directly over the wound and smooth down the adhesive border. An appropriate retention bandage or tape should be used to secure the dressing in place if required or if the dressing has been cut.
- Discard any unused portion of the product after dressing the wound
- Changing: The dressing should be changed when clinically indicated (i.e. leakage, bleeding, increased pain, suspicion of infection). Maximum recommended wear time is seven days. The wound should be cleansed at appropriate intervals.
- To remove: Press down gently on the skin and carefully lift one corner of the dressing. Continue until all edges are free. Carefully lift away the dressing and discard according to local clinical protocols.
Warnings and Precautions
- This device is for single use only and should not be reused. Reuse may lead to increased risk of infection or cross-contamination.
- This wound dressing should not be used with other wound care products without first consulting a health care profession.
- During the body’s normal healing process, non-viable tissue may be removed (autolytic debridement) from the wound, which could make the wound appear larger after the first few dressing changes.
- Should you observe irritation (reddening, inflammation), maceration (whitening of skin) or hypergranulation (excess tissue formation), consult a health care professional. The would should be inspected during dressing changes for signs of infection (increased pain, bleeding, warmth/redness of surrounding tissue, wound exudate), changes in wound color and/or odor, any other unexpected symptoms.
- AQUACEL Foam Pro dressings are not compatible with oil-based products or emollients such as petrolatum. Do not use AQUACEL Foam Pro dressings with oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide or hypochlorite solutions.
