Hydrofera Blue Ready Antibacterial Foam Dressings are designed to effectively control infection and maintain a moist wound healing environment without the need for hydration. These sterilize dressings are meant for shallow wounds with moderate to high exudate and can effectively absorb them, lasting up to seven days depending on the wound's clinical condition. Polyurethane (PU) foam is used to construct these dressings, which efficiently manage exudate, support a clean wound bed, and create a healing-friendly environment.

Features

• Moist Healing Environment: Helps maintain optimal wound moisture to promote faster, healthier healing.
• Safe & Non-Cytotoxic: Protects against harmful bacteria without damaging healthy tissue.
• Extended Wear Time: Can remain in place for up to 7 days, reducing dressing changes and patient discomfort.
• Rapid Wicking and Absorption: Manages moderate to high exudate efficiently, minimizing the risk of maceration.
• Kills Bacteria Within the Dressing: Prevents cross-contamination and promotes a cleaner wound bed.
