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. These dressings are generally made from semipermeable polyurethane, so they are nonadherent and non-linting.
