Woundcare Foams
One of the main goals of foam woundcare dressings is to create a moist environment conducive to wound healing. AQF Medical offer a range of high performance medical grade, open cell, hydrophilic polyurethane foams with high absorbent and retention characteristics.

INNOVATION
Our R&D team are available to assist you with the design and selection of the most suitable foam for your woundcare application. Foam dressings allow water vapor to enter but help prevent bacteria and other contaminants from entering the wound site. The outer layer of the foam dressing may be waterproof or hydrophobic. AQF Medical foams provide excellent absorptive capacity to remove exudates and achieve higher fluid retention under compression.
