Hydrofera Blue Ready Border Dressing

Who Uses This Product? Individuals with moderately to highly exuding acute or chronic wounds that are infected or at risk of becoming infected.

Why They Love It? This dressing offers antibacterial protection with a silicone border that keeps the dressing in place even on difficult-to-dress, mobile areas such as the elbow or the lower lumbar area. The foam gently forms to the wound bed without sticking, and removal is gentle and atraumatic.

The Hydrofera Blue Border Dressing offers noncytotoxic antibacterial protection to prevent infection and support fibroblasts and other growth factors. The gentle silicone adhesive allows for atraumatic dressing changes without causing damage to the wound when it's being removed. The dressing offers a secure fit on areas that are difficult to dress, like the elbows and knees, and can be worn for up to seven days. The cover film is breathable and waterproof to ensure the wound stays safe from outside bacteria. The polyurethane foam comes in intimate contact with the wound for optimal exudate absorption and bioburden control.

Does this dressing need to be hydrated before application?
No.

Why does the dressing go from blue to white?
It means the organic pigments that fight bacteria have depleted and the wound dressing needs to be changed.

What is the difference between the Hydrofera Blue Border Wound Dressing and dressings with silver? 
The Hydrofera Blue dressings do not contain silver, making these a good alternative for people who have a sensitivity to silver. Like Hydrofera Blue, silver dressings have antimicrobial properties and are often highly absorbent and designed to help maintain a moist wound environment and speed up healing.
