The Qwick Non-Adhesive Wound Dressing is a super absorbent and wicking dressing that is intended for use on moderate to heavily draining wounds. The fast wicking and super absorbent layers absorb and retain wound exudate that contains harmful Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMPs), bacteria, and necrotic debris. Qwick has flexible material with makes it verstile for use on any wound with exudate. The Qwick Dressing features Aqua conductive Technology which is the mechanism by which the three layers pull exudate away or out of the wound to help create an optimal, moist wound healing environment. The three layers consist of a blue top layer that faces away from the wound to 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 middle layer, or "storage" layer, consists of super absorbent polyacrylate fibers designed to absorb and retain large amounts of exudate. The bottom layer, known as the wound contact layer, is composed of a blend of hydrophobic and hydrophilic fiber. The Hydrophilic fibers attract the exudate which results in fast wicking. The Hydrophobic fibers regulate and channel absorption to facilitate vertical transfer of the exudate from the wound into the storage layer. Qwick wound dressings can be worn up to 7 days. They can also be cut to the size and shape desired. They are latex free and sterile! Available in 3 sizes.
