The dressing combines a gentle silicone adhesive contact layer, a Hydrofiber absorbent core, and a breathable waterproof outer film to maintain an optimal moist wound healing environment while reducing friction and shear forces. It is indicated for the management of pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, and partial-thickness burns on the heel region.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aquacel Foam Pro Heel Dressing from ConvaTec is an anatomically shaped advanced wound care dressing engineered for the complex contours of the heel. Measuring 19.8 cm x 14 cm (8 in x 5.5 in), the dressing integrates Hydrofiber Technology within a multi-layered foam construction to deliver superior exudate absorption and retention. The Hydrofiber core transforms absorbed fluid into a soft cohesive gel that locks moisture away from the wound bed and surrounding skin, helping to maintain a balanced moisture environment conducive to wound healing while minimising the risk of maceration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dressing features a perforated gentle silicone adhesive layer that conforms closely to the wound surface, enabling atraumatic removal without disturbing newly formed tissue or causing peri-wound skin damage. The outer film is breathable yet waterproof, providing a barrier against external contaminants while allowing moisture vapour transmission. This film layer also reduces shear and friction forces on the heel, which is particularly important in pressure ulcer prevention and management protocols. The dressing can be used under compression bandaging systems and is compatible with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) when clinically indicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eConvaTec Ltd, United Kingdom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eAQUACEL® Foam Pro Heel Dressing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eREF \/ Catalogue No.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e422356\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e19.8 cm x 14 cm (8 in x 5.5 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eShape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eAnatomical heel contour, rectangular\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAdhesive Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003ePerforated gentle silicone adhesive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCore Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eHydrofiber® Technology with foam backing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eOuter Layer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eBreathable waterproof film\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSterility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eSterile, single use (gamma irradiated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eLatex Content\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eLatex-free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRegulatory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eCE marked (Class IIb) per EU MDR 2017\/745; ISO 13485 certified manufacturing; FDA 510(k) cleared; registered with HSA Singapore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px; font-weight: bold;\"\u003ePackaging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eBox of 10 individually packaged sterile dressings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClinical Indications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManagement of heel pressure ulcers (Stages 1–4) including prevention of deterioration in at-risk patients in acute care and long-term care facilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiabetic foot ulcers on the heel requiring exudate management and offloading support in accordance with International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) guidelines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost-surgical heel wounds where atraumatic dressing changes and moisture balance are clinically prioritised\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraumatic heel wounds and skin tears in elderly patients where peri-wound skin integrity must be preserved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePartial-thickness burns on the heel region requiring a moist wound healing environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVenous and arterial leg ulcers extending to the heel, including use under compression bandaging systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does Hydrofiber Technology differ from standard foam dressings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard foam dressings absorb exudate through capillary action and can redistribute moisture laterally, which may lead to peri-wound maceration. Hydrofiber Technology, exclusive to ConvaTec, uses sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) fibres that absorb exudate vertically and transform it into a soft cohesive gel. This gel-locking mechanism retains fluid within the dressing structure even under compression, reducing the risk of leakage, strikethrough, and maceration of the surrounding healthy skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often should the Aquacel Foam Pro Heel Dressing be changed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDressing change frequency depends on wound type, exudate volume, and clinical assessment. The Aquacel Foam Pro can remain in situ for up to 7 days, depending on the level of exudate and wound condition. Clinicians should inspect the dressing regularly and change it when exudate reaches within 1–2 cm of the dressing edge, or if there are signs of infection, leakage, or dressing displacement. Follow institutional wound care protocols and WOCN or EWMA guidelines for reassessment intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this dressing be used for pressure ulcer prevention on intact skin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Aquacel Foam Pro Heel Dressing may be applied prophylactically over intact skin in patients at high risk of heel pressure ulcers, such as immobilised patients in ICU or post-operative settings. The breathable waterproof film reduces shear and friction, while the silicone adhesive allows repositioning without skin stripping. This use is supported by the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP) and National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP) guidelines on pressure injury prevention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Aquacel Foam Pro Heel Dressing compatible with compression therapy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The dressing is designed to maintain its absorbent performance under external compression and can be used as a primary dressing beneath compression bandaging systems for venous leg ulcers extending to the heel. The Hydrofiber core retains absorbed exudate under pressure, minimising lateral wicking and reducing the risk of maceration under wraps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I purchase Aquacel Foam Pro dressings in Singapore?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMIS (Essential Medical International Supplies Pte Ltd) supplies ConvaTec Aquacel Foam Pro dressings in Singapore for healthcare facilities, home nursing services, and individual wound care needs.
