Hydrogel Dressings

Hydrogel dressings are specialized wound coverings made from a gel-like substance that contains a high percentage of water. They are designed to maintain moisture in wounds, which helps promote healing and reduces pain. Hydrogel dressings are particularly effective for burns, abrasions, and dry or minimal exudating wounds. They create a soothing environment, preventing the dressing from sticking to the wound, making removal easier and less painful. Additionally, they can help reduce odor and may also provide a barrier against infection. These dressings are typically transparent, allowing for easy monitoring of the wound without removing the dressing.
