ACTIVHEAL® AQUAFIBER™

ACTIVHEAL® AQUAFIBER™ IS A SOFT, CONFORMABLE, HIGHLY ABSORBENT DRESSING THAT CONVERTS TO A SOFT CLEAR GEL WHEN IN CONTACT WITH WOUND EXUDATE.

FEATURES // High absorbency // Excellent wet and dry strength // Easy to use // Reduced lateral wicking // Clear gelling // Promotes healing through a moist wound environment // 

ActivHeal® Aquafiber™ is a uniquely designed dressing developed to provide you with all the benefits of an alginate dressing whilst also offering a high wet strength and clear gelling properties, to ensure a moist wound environment is maintained.

The reinforcement gives the dressing improved wet integrity providing the clinician with the confidence that the dressing can be removed intact. Calcium ions present within the alginate fibres of ActivHeal® AquaFiber™ exchange with sodium ions found in the wound exudate. The donation of calcium benefits the wound by stimulating cytokines which are essential to the wound healing process2. Exudate is absorbed vertically into the ActivHeal® AquaFiber™ dressing reducing the risk of maceration and damage to the peri wound skin3.

CASE STUDY

Patient B, a 93 year old man presented with a Grade 3 Pressure Ulcer with suspected deep tissue injury on the sacral area. He had a history of TIA’s and has a pacemaker following periods of atrial ectopic with ventricular blocks. ActivHeal® AquaFiber™ ribbon was applied four weeks into the treatment regime.

Grade 3 pressure ulcer
WEEK 1. The wound was covered with 10% granulating tissue, 20% slough and 70% soft necrotic tissue. There was still erythema to the surrounding skin and excoriation. The exudate levels were low to medium
Grade 3 pressure ulcer
WEEK 3. All necrotic tissue had been removed, the wound now presented as a cavity. Areas of epithelialisation at the wound edges were now present along with 70% of granulation tissue and 30% slough.
Grade 3 pressure ulcer
WEEK 5. The wound progressed to 5% slough and 95% granulation tissue. There were areas of epithelial tissue. One area of undermining to the proximal area of the wound had healed and only 1cm area of undermining to the distal part of the wound.
