Product Description
Exudate Management – For moderately to heavily exuding wounds
Versiva® XC Gelling Foam dressing consists of a waterproof top polyurethane
foam/film layer, which protects the wound from external contaminants
and provides a bacterial/viral barrier1. It also manages the moisture vapour
transmission of the exudate absorbed by the dressing1. An absorptive
non-woven fibrous layer (with Hydrofiber® Technology) absorbs and retains
exudate by forming a cohesive gel.
Versiva® XC is available as an adhesive dressing or non-adhesive dressing. The adhesive dressing has a thin adhesive border that secures the dressing
in place while allowing gentle removal. The non-adhesive dressing has a thin
non-adhesive wound contact layer which allows gentle dressing removal.
The dressing absorbs and retains exudate creating a moist wound
environment which supports the body’s healing process and aids in the
removal of non-viable tissue from the wound (autolytic debridement) without
damaging new tissue1.
Clinical Benefits
Application*
• Provides a moist wound environment
Carefully cleanse the wound with saline and dry surrounding skin. Choose a
dressing and size, ensuring the pad area is larger than the wound.
• Protects periwound skin and reduces the
risk of maceration2
Adhesive Dressing - Remove release paper from the dressing, avoiding
finger contact with the wound contact surface and the adhesive border. Place
the pad directly over the wound, ensuring the wound is in the centre of the
dressing pad, and smooth down the adhesive border.
Non-Adhesive Dressing - Remove dressing from the pack being careful to
minimise finger contact with the wound contact surface. Place the pad directly
over the wound ensuring the wound is in the centre of the dressing pad. An
appropriate retention bandage or tape should be used to secure the dressing
in place.
Versiva® XC dressing may be used as a primary dressing or as a secondary
dressing in combination with appropriate dressings such as, but not limited
to, AQUACEL® or AQUACEL® Ag dressing. Change dressing when clinically
indicated. Maximum recommended wear time is up to 7 days.
To remove, press down gently on the skin and carefully lift one corner of the
dressing until it is no longer adhered to the skin. Continue until all edges are
free. Carefully lift away and discard.
*Please refer to pack insert for full instructions, prior to use.

Product Description
AQUACEL® dressing is the original Hydrofiber® dressing, a technology unique
to ConvaTec.
The Hydrofiber® dressing is made up of 100% Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose and converts to a soft gel when in contact with wound exudate,
which maintains a moist wound environment that supports the body’s healing
process1.
The unique gelling action of Hydrofiber® fibres absorb and retain exudate and
lock away harmful components contained within wound exudate, such as
bacteria2 and proteinases3. The ability of AQUACEL® dressing to retain and
absorb exudate is higher than some alginates4,5 and gauze5 giving longer wear
time, leading to fewer dressings changes, reduced nursing time and lower
overall wound care cost.4,5,6
Clinical Benefits
Application*
•Supports moist wound healing
environment
Carefully cleanse the wound with saline and dry the surrounding skin before
placing AQUACEL® dressing directly onto the wound allowing an overlap onto
the surrounding skin of at least 1cm.
For cavity wounds, loosely pack AQUACEL® dressing ribbon to about 80%
capacity leaving at least 2.5cm outside the wound for easy retrieval.
The AQUACEL® dressing should then be covered with an appropriate
moisture retentive secondary dressing such as, but not limited to, Versiva® XC
dressing, DuoDERM CGF® dressing, DuoDERM® Extra Thin CGF™ dressing, or
DuoDERM Signal® dressing.

Product Description
AQUACEL® Ag Hydrofiber® dressing is Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose
with 1.2% ionic silver. It offers the unique gelling properties of Hydrofiber®
technology with the power of ionic silver. The dressing fibres of AQUACEL® Ag
gel on contact with wound fluid by hydrophilic action. The fibres swell as they
lock bacterial exudate away from the wound by vertical wicking1, creating a
large fluid absorption capacity2.
AQUACEL® Ag dressing can kill a broad spectrum of wound pathogens in the
dressing that can cause infection including MRSA, VRE and Pseudomonas
aeruginosa and aids in reducing the wound bioburden3.
Bacteria and other harmful wound exudate components are locked within the
gelled AQUACEL® Ag dressing fibres1, where the ionic silver contained within
the dressing kills them3.
Application*
Clinical Benefits
Before applying, carefully cleanse the wound with saline and dry surrounding
skin. Apply directly onto the wound leaving an adequate overlap onto the
surrounding skin of at least 1cm. When using AQUACEL® Ag dressing ribbon
in cavity wounds, loosely pack wound to about 80% capacity leaving at least
2.5cm outside the wound for easy retrieval. The AQUACEL® Ag dressing
should then be covered with an appropriate secondary wound care dressing.

CarboFLEX
®
Product Description
Exudate Management – For moderately to heavily exuding malodorous
wounds
CarboFlex® dressing is a five-layer dressing specifically designed to address
the management problems associated with malodorous wounds.
CarboFlex® dressing provides effective exudate control and odour adsorption
while being soft and conformable1,2.
Application*
Carefully cleanse the wound with saline and dry surrounding skin. Choose
a dressing size that is large enough to overlap the wound edge by at least
3cm. For shallow wounds, CarboFlex® dressing can be used as a primary
dressing. For deeper wounds, CarboFlex® dressing may be used as a
secondary dressing over a suitable cavity filler.
Place the fibrous (non-shiny) surface of the dressing directly onto the wound
or over the cavity filler. The absorbent wound contact layer will form a soft gel
when in contact with wound exudate. For wounds with very heavy levels of
exudate, use an appropriate absorptive dressing such as AQUACEL® dressing
as a primary dressing (either ribbon for cavities or a sheet for shallow wounds)
and CarboFlex® dressing as a secondary dressing.
Clinical Benefits
CarboFlex® dressing can be secured in place with tape or other appropriate
material.
•Non-adherent allowing less traumatic
dressing changes
• Soft and conformable
environment
• Effectively controls wound malodour1
• Absorbs and controls exudate2
• Aesthetically pleasing to patients3
• May help relieve feelings of social isolation
and restore lost confidence3

Product Description
Exudate Management – As a primary or secondary cover dressing for
low to moderately exuding wounds
CombiDERM ACD® dressing is an absorbent dressing that is made up of three
main parts: an absorbent hydrocolloid adhesive, a central absorbent island
pad and gel forming polyacrylate granules. The super absorbent granules act
to absorb, gel and hold exudate away from the skin. This helps to create a
moist wound healing environment.
CombiDERM ACD® dressing retains exudate even under pressure1 helping
prevent maceration and allowing longer wear time1. The outer polyurethane
film layer is waterproof and bacterial resistant2.
Application*
Carefully cleanse the wound with saline, and dry surrounding skin. Choose
a dressing to ensure that the central pad size is larger than the wound area.
Remove the release paper and place the pad directly over the wound. The
absorbent portion of the pad will swell and soften as it absorbs wound
exudate.
To remove the dressing, press down gently on the skin, carefully lift the blue
tab and continue until all edges are free.
CombiDERM ACD® dressing may be used as a primary dressing or as a
secondary dressing in combination with other appropriate dressings such
as, but not limited to, AQUACEL®, AQUACEL® Ag, Kaltostat® or
DuoDERM® Gel.

Product Description
KALTOSTAT® dressing is an absorbent, calcium sodium alginate (80% Ca
and 20% Na) with a high Guluronic acid content. When in contact with
wound exudate, calcium ions in the dressing exchange with sodium ions in
the exudate causing the dressing to transform from a dry, fibrous state to a
firm, moist gel. The dressing provides a moist environment helping to create
optimal wound healing conditions and maintains its integrity allowing for easy,
atraumatic removal1.
KALTOSTAT® dressing is also designed to promote haemostasis, providing a
matrix to support blood clot formation2.
Application*
Carefully cleanse the wound with saline and dry surrounding skin.
KALTOSTAT® dressing should be folded or cut to the shape of the wound
and applied dry directly onto the wound. For moderately exuding wounds,
Versiva® XC, DuoDERM® or CombiDERM® dressings, amongst others, can be
used as a secondary dressings over Kaltostat® dressing. If highly exuding,
a secondary absorbent pad should be used for additional absorbency and
secured in place.

Product Description
Moisture Retentive – For moderately exuding partial or full thickness
wounds
DuoDERM Signal®, dressing is an adhesive, tapered edge hydrocolloid wound
dressing with a change indicator. The indicator helps to determine when to
change the dressing which is designed to reduce premature dressing changes
that can disturb healing and cause discomfort.
The hydrocolloid dressing uses ConvaTec’s unique hydrocolloid formulation
which consists of a cross-linked honeycomb matrix made from a proprietary
mix of Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose, gelatin, pectin and adhesive polymers.
The dressing is tapered to be thinner at the edges than at the centre, to help
to reduce the incidence of rolling up during use1.
DuoDERM Signal® dressing absorbs wound fluid and creates a moist
environment that promotes healing by aiding autolytic debridement, facilitating
the migration of epithelial cells and allowing non-traumatic removal of the
dressing without damaging newly formed tissue1.
Application*
Carefully cleanse the wound with saline and dry surrounding skin before
selecting a dressing that is 3cm larger than the wound area in any one
direction. After removing the backing paper, line up the centre of the dressing
with the centre of the wound and place the dressing directly over the wound.
The dressing should be changed when clinically indicated, when the wound
fluid has reached the change indicator or when used for a maximum of seven
days. To remove, press down gently on the skin and carefully lift one corner of
the dressing, stretching each edge until free.
Clinical Benefits

Hydrocolloid Paste
Product Description
Moisture Retentive – Maintain moisture balance
DuoDERM® Paste interacts with wound exudate to form a moist wound
environment that is supportive of the healing process by aiding autolytic
debridement and allowing the non-traumatic removal of the dressing without
damaging newly formed tissue1.
Application*
Carefully cleanse the wound with saline and dry surrounding skin carefully to
remove any greasy substances since these will interfere with the adhesion of
the dressing.
Swab the piercing spike (on cap) with alcohol.
Remove the cap and puncture the tube’s opening by inverting the cap and
pressing on the metal membrane. NOTE: A small amount of clear liquid may
be evident when the tube is opened. This is normal and is not an indication of
product deterioration.
Squeeze the paste into the wound. Smooth, if necessary, using a sterile
spatula or a sterile gloved finger. The surface of the paste should not protrude
above the level of the surrounding skin (excess paste should be removed).
NOTE: Do not allow paste on the surrounding normal skin, otherwise the
adherence of the dressing will be impaired.
Select an appropriate moisture retentive dressing examples being Versiva® XC,
DuoDERM® or CombiDERM® dressing of appropriate size so that it extends
at least 3.2 cm onto normal skin. Apply in a rolling motion and hold gently
in place to ensure good adhesion. NOTE: Refer to the instructions
accompanying the Dressing for further information.
*Please refer to the pack insert for full instructions prior to use.
