Why choose Hydrofera Blue Classic?

Management of bioburden, removal of devitalized tissue and maintaining moisture balance is important for successful wound management. Hydrofera Blue Classic dressings provide all these in a single dressing.

• Bioburden Management: Two well-known organic pigments, gentian violet and methylene blue offer broad-spectrum antibacterial protection.
• Autolytic Debridement: Use of Hydrofera heavy drainage dressings promotes autolytic debridement.
• Moisture Management: PVA micro-pore foam structure absorbs and retains fluid. It becomes soft and flexible when moistened and maintains absorbency similar to other highly absorptive dressings.
• Edge Effect: This dressing assists in the resolution of epibole or flattening of wound edges.

Hydrofera Blue Safety Data Sheet
 

How to use Hydrofera Heavy Drainage Dressing?

		1. Hydrate: Hydrate the Hydrofera Blue heavy drainage dressing with sterile saline or sterile water. Squeeze out excess fluid.
		2. Apply: Hydrofera Blue Dressing may be cut to fit the wound bed. If rolled edges are present, the dressing should cover both the wound and peri-wound area.
		3. Cover: Cover the dressing with a secondary dressing. Selection of secondary dressing is based on exudate level.
		4. Dressing Changes: Change the first dressing at 24 hours. If the dressing retained its blue color, the new dressing can be left in place for up to 72 hours. If the dressing turned white or lightened in color, continue 24-hour dressing changes until blue color is retained.
		5. Moisture Balance: As with many wound care dressings, moisture balance is key. If the dressing is dry, thoroughly re-moisten with sterile saline or water. Then gently remove the dressing.
