Ciencia de la Hidrofibra™
Apósitos AQUACEL®
Cómo Funciona la Hidrofibra™
- La Hidrofibra™ es un apósito blando y absorbente que se transforma en gel cuando entra en contacto con el fluido de la herida
- La gelificación crea un entorno excelente para la cicatrización de heridas y para minimizar el riesgo de infección ya que atrapa y retiene las bacterias dentro de sus fibras junto al exudado.1, 6, 10, 11, 13
- Además esta gelificación se conforma al lecho de la herida
