The Qwick Nonadhesive Superabsorbent Wound Dressings with Aquaconductive Technology are expertly designed for use on wounds that have moderate to heavy drainage. The dressings boast fast wicking and superabsorbent layers that quickly absorb and retain wound exudate, while the wound contact layer is made up of hydrophilic fibers that attract the exudate, resulting in rapid wicking. The storage layer of the dressings consists of superabsorbent polyacrylate fibers that can absorb and retain large amounts of exudate. Additionally, the blue nonocclusive top layer acts as an indicator of how the dressing should be applied. If you want a reliable wound dressing that promotes faster healing and reduces the risk of infection, Qwick Nonadhesive Superabsorbent Wound Dressings with Aquaconductive Technology is an ideal choice for you.

What is Aquaconductive Technology?

Aquaconductive Technology is the mechanism by which the three layers of Qwick wound dressing effectively draw out exudate from the wound, thereby promoting the creation of a moist and optimal healing environment.

The top layer, which faces away from the wound and helps serve as an indicator of how the dressing should be applied. This layer is not occlusive, and exudate can pass through it into a secondary dressing.
The wound contact layer is composed of a blend of hydrophobic and hydrophilic fibers. Hydrophilic fibers attract the exudate, resulting in fast wicking. Hydrophobic fibers regulate and channel absorption to facilitate vertical transfer of the exudate from the wound into the storage layer of Qwick.
The storage layer consists of super absorbent polyacrylate fibers designed to absorb and retain large amounts of exudate.
