Aquacel Extra is a wound dressing that provides extra strength, extra absorbency and extra wear time. It is made with ConvaTec Hydrofiber technology that promotes healing and draws out infections. The dressing does not have adhesive, and one needs to hold it in place with a bandage. According to the instructions, the dressing can last up to 14 days, but users should change it between days 8 and 9. The dressing sticks to the wound and is hard to remove without re-opening it. The physician recommends applying ointment before using the dressing to prevent this problem. Customer feedback has been largely positive, with users saying that the product works well, absorbs well and creates an antibacterial environment to prevent infection. Others have found it thinner and harder to cut than generic brands, but that it works a lot better. Some users have complained about the high price of the product.
