Hydrogel Dressings for wound care are designed to help keep moisture at the surface of a wound. This provides an ideal environment for both cleaning wounds and allowing the body to rid itself of necrotic tissue.
Common types of hydrogel dressings include amorphous gels, sheets filler or fiber types of material, and gauze types of dressings. Typical wounds treated with hydrogels include diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, surgical wounds, and skin tears.
