Hydroactive Wound Dressings

TenderWet®

Superabsorbent wound dressing pad, which creates in combination with Ringer's solution or TenderWet solution a moist wound environment for up to 24 hours - the plus-presentation for up to 3 days; removes necroses and coatings and in exchange, absorbs wound exudate and in this way accelerates wound cleansing; the hydrophobic covering prevents adhesion; it can be removed without wound irritation; the wound dressing pads are available in different presentations: ready-to-use and pre-activated - the plus-presentation with additional antibacterial substance - or for self-activation with TenderWet solution.

Sorbalgon®

Conformable, non-medicated dressings and tamponing ribbons made of calcium alginate fibres which transform into a hydrophilic non-adherent gel on contact with the sodium salts contained in blood and exudate, the gel fills the wound cavity and thus creates close wound contact and a favourable microclimate for healing arises; germs are trapped in the gel structure during transformation.

PermaFoam®

Foam dressing with a permeable to water vapour polyurethane top layer; the special hydrophilic foam structure provides for a fast transport of wound exudate by a reinforced capillary effect and guarantees a balanced moist wound environment; germs and cell debris are trapped and remain bound even under compression; soft and supple, with good padding effect, can be removed without wound irritation; available in different sizes and shapes.

HydroTac®

A foam dressing which is coated with a net-like hydrogel layer on the side facing towards the wound and a gas permeable, waterproof and bacteria-resistant outer layer made of polyurethane; the absorbent foam material quickly absorbs excessive wound exudate without drying out the wound; in relatively dry wounds the hydrogel releases moisture and promotes the formation and maintainance of a moist wound environment, whereby the granulation and epithelisation are promoted; the wound dressing is soft and conformable, provides a good cushioning effect and can be removed almost painlessly; also available with an adhesive foil.

Hydrocoll®

Absorbent, self-adhesive hydrocolloid dressing with semi-permeable top layer which is impermeable to germs; the hydrocolloids transform into a gel and create a moist wound environment; the gel remains absorbent until the hydrocolloids are saturated; promotes granulation and epithelization; it can be removed without wound irritation; available in different sizes and shapes.

Hydrosorb®

Absorbent, hydrocellular gel dressing with semi-permeable top layer which is impermeable to germs; transparent; provides a balanced moist wound environment due to the high water content of about 60 %; promotes granulation and epithelization; excellent biocompatibility; good padding effect; it can be removed without wound irritation; also available with fixing film.

Hydrosorb® Gel

A clear and viscous gel whose components are water with an electrolytic composition and which provides a balanced, moist environment from the very beginning; Hydrosorb Gel softens and hydrates dry necrotic tissue, facilitates removal of devitalized tissue and absorbs wound exudate of slightly exuding wounds; can be washed away using sterile rinsing solution without disturbing the rest of the wound; available in dispenser syringes featuring measuring scales pointing in opposite directions to enable correct determination of the volume used to fill the wound and of the remaining volume; individually sealed.
