親水性纖維技術(Hydrofiber® Technology)

AQUACEL® 敷料

親水性纖維(Hydrfiber®)如何作用

  • 親水性纖維是一種柔軟而吸附力強的材質，接觸到傷口滲液時，會變成凝膠狀。
  • 凝膠的產生可提供傷口癒合的最佳環境，和減少感染風險。 *1, 6, 10, 11, 13

鎖住滲出液、及細菌*1-3

符合傷口床的輪廓*8​

 形成濕潤凝膠以回應達到促進傷口癒合狀況*8​
     
  • 可保護傷口周圍皮膚、減少浸潤4,5
  • 可盡量降低敷料移除時造成的交叉感染6,7
  • 盡量減少細菌可以生長的「死腔」8
  • 維持傷口床溼潤的平衡9
  • 接觸滲出液時形成凝膠
  • 可提供快速和持久的抗菌活性*10-12 (具有銀離子的敷料)
