ActivHeal® Aquafiber is a soft, conformable, highly absorbent dressing that converts to a soft clear gel when in contact with wound exudate.

ActivHeal® Aquafiber gels on contact with wound exudate and gently conforms to the wound surface. Designed to remain intact when wet or dry, the dressing gives all the benefits of an alginate, while ensuring 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 fibers 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 process. Exudate is absorbed vertically into ActivHeal® Aquafiber reducing the risk of maceration and damage to the peri wound skin.
