Hydrofera Blue Transfer Antibacterial Foam Dressings are designed to manage wounds with higher levels of exudate while maintaining a moist environment for wound healing. These sterile dressings absorb and transfer excess wound fluid into a secondary dressing, helping to protect the wound edges and reduce the risk of skin maceration. Hydrofera Blue Transfer is made up of polyurethane (PU) foam and infused with methylene blue and gentian violet, resulting in broad-spectrum antibacterial protection that minimizes bioburden while preserving growth factors. The dressings are safe to use, require no hydration before application, and can be worn for up to seven days, depending on the wound's clinical condition.

Features

• Transfers exudate efficiently: Moves excess fluid away from the wound bed into a secondary dressing.
• No film backing: Allows exudate to pass freely while maintaining dressing flexibility.
• No pre-hydration required: Ready to use straight from the package.
• Broad-spectrum antibacterial action: Infused with gentian violet and methylene blue to help manage bioburden and reduce infection risk.
• Maintains a moist wound environment: Supports optimal healing without additional hydration.
• Non-cytotoxic and safe: Gentle on healing tissue and does not inhibit fibroblasts or growth factors.
• Up to 7-day wear time: Long wear duration reduces the need for frequent dressing changes.
• Kills bacteria within the dressing: Ensures infection control without releasing active substances into the wound bed.

Indications of Use

• Shallow wounds
• Wounds with an infection or at risk of infection
• Post-op wounds and post-surgical incisions
• Difficult to dress areas
• Pressure injuries
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Venous stasis ulcers
• Arterial ulcers
• Superficial burns and wounds
• Donor sites and skin grafts
• Traumatic wounds
• Acute and chronic wounds
• Dehisced wounds
• Granulating/epithelializing wounds
• Moderate to high-exudating wounds
• Non/minimally exudating wounds
• Palliative wounds
• Sloughy wounds
• Superficial wounds (abrasions, lacerations)

How To Apply

1. Cleanse the wound area according to standard clinical protocol.
2. Select an appropriately sized Hydrofera Blue Transfer dressing to cover the wound.
3. Apply the dressing directly to the wound bed—no pre-hydration is required.
4. Place a suitable secondary absorbent dressing on top to manage excess exudate.
5. Secure with an appropriate fixation method.
6. Replace the dressing every 1–7 days, depending on wound condition and exudate levels.

Removal

1. Hydrofera Blue Transfer can be left in place for up to 7 days.
2. Depending on the exudate and clinical conditions of the wound.
3. The dressing should be changed if it turns white.

Contraindications:

• Do not use on patients with known sensitivity to any of the dressing components.
• Not indicated for third-degree burns.

Warnings:

• Single-use only.
• If signs of infection, irritation, or maceration develop, consult a healthcare professional.
