Hydrofera Blue dressings are bacteriostatic dressings that are proven effective at managing bioburden in wounds. These dressings inhibit the growth of microorganims that are commonly found in wounds, for instance, MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and VRE (Vancomycin-resistant enterococcus).

These dressings are constructed through a unique, patented process that combines PVA foam with two organic pigments, Methylene Blue and Gentian Violet, forming a matrix that allows the dressing to both absorb wound exudate and provide bacteriostatic protection against a wide number of of microorganisms.

Features:

• Pulls bacteria-laden exudate up from the wound, assisting in healing and comfort
• Maintains the same or better absorbency as other highly absorptive dressings
• Cmobined with a cover dressing, creates a moist wound environment.
• Safe for use with enzymatic debridement products, without decreasing enzymatic activity or harming growth factors

Can be used for:

• Pressure ulcers
• Diabetic ulcers
• Venous stasis ulcers
• Arterial ulcers
• Superficial burns
• Donor sites
• Post-surgical incisions
• Trauma wounds
• Abrasions
• Lacerations

Size: 2.25 x 8 in., with Film
