Description

Who Uses This Product? Medical professionals and individuals who need dressings for open or exuding wounds. Those who have an allergy or sensitivity to silver dressings may also use this product.

Why They Love This Product: The dressings offer broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection while also providing a balanced and nontoxic environment for wound healing. It continuously pulls harmful bacteria away from the wound bed and encourages the body's natural healing agents.

 

Hydrofera Blue Classic Overview

The Hydrofera Blue Classic Antibacterial Foam Dressing is an absorbent polyvinyl alcohol foam dressing designed to assist with the healing of exuding wounds. It wicks away exudate, slough, and debris that contain harmful bacteria, reducing bioburden that poses an obstacle to healing. In addition to absorbing harmful substances, the dressing provides a moist and protective environment to encourage the wound to heal. The foam contains Methylene Blue and Gentian Violet, which provides a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect that is effective against a variety of harmful bacteria and yeasts. The dressing does not contain silver.

 

Safe and Efficient Wound Care

Stellar wicking. The Hydrofera Blue Antibacterial Foam Dressing wicks wound exudate into the foam and keeps it away from healing tissue.

Edge effect. Wound edges that have rolled or curled under improve and are resolved with use of the Classic Hydrofera Blue Dressing.

Autolytic Debridement. The dressing removes necrotic and devitalized tissue from wounds using the body's own enzymatic mechanisms. Removal of these tissues facilitates healing that the tissues would otherwise impede.1

Foam

Applications for Use

The Hydrofera Blue Classic Foam Dressing is intended for use in the management of wounds such as:

  • Acute wounds
  • Cavity wounds
  • Chronic wounds
  • Deep wounds
  • Tunneling wounds
  • Dehisced wounds
  • Diabetic foot ulcers
  • Pressure ulcers
  • Venous ulcers
  • Infected wounds
  • Granulating/epithelializing wounds
  • Non/minimally exudating wounds
  • Palliative wounds
  • Sloughy wounds
  • Superficial wounds
  • Surgical wounds
  • Traumatic wounds

 

Contraindications

The dressing should not be used for third-degree burns. Patients with known sensitivities to ingredients should also not use this dressing.

 

Secondary Dressings

The Hydrofera Blue Classic Antibacterial Foam Dressing needs a secondary dressing such as a gauze, transparent film, bandage, or foam dressing to hold it in place. Secondary dressings also assist with the management of moisture levels and absorb any excess exudate. The appropriate secondary dressing depends on the type of wound the Hydrofera Blue is being used on.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does the dressing have to be wet?
Yes. Moistening the dressing with sterile water or saline before use is highly recommended.

How often should the dressing be changed?
That depends on the amount of exudate. It is recommended that dressings be changed as needed. The dressing can remain in place for up to 3 days.

What does it mean if the dressing has changed from blue to white?
The dressing is ready to be changed.

What is the difference between a silver dressing and the Hydrofera Blue Classic Antibacterial Foam Dressing?
The Hydrofera Blue dressings do not contain silver. Otherwise, the dressing functions the same way a silver dressing does: it is highly-absorbent, has antimicrobial properties, and speeds up the healing process of the wound.

How should the dressings be stored?
In a cool and dry place that is well-ventilated and away from sources of heat or combustible materials. Also, keep out of direct sunlight.

 

Precautions

  • Do not allow the dressing to dry out.
  • Use of the dressing without clinical review by a licensed medical practitioner should not exceed 6 months.
  • The use of this dressing on pregnant or breastfeeding women has not been studied.
