Hydrofera Blue READY Non-Adhesive Transfer Dressing Overview
The Hydrofera Blue Transfer Dressing provides potent but gentle care to partial-thickness wounds with moderate to heavy exudate. It features a two-part system for controlling bacteria and exudate: strong antibacterial properties and a lack of film backing so that exudate transfers to a secondary dressing. The Hydrofera Transfer Dressing maintains a moist wound environment, which allows for autolytic debridement and promotes healing.

Powerful Exudate and Bacteria Management
This polyurethane foam dressing uses a two-part system to manage bacteria and exudate. It comes without a film backing, which increases the amount of exudate the dressing can hold. The fluid gets transferred to a secondary dressing, where it is locked in place to prevent leaks. While the fluids are being absorbed, the antibacterial properties are already working to protect the wound. The dressing contains methylene blue and gentian violet, two organic pigments that protect against a variety of microorganisms that can grow within a wound.
Indications for Use
- Shallow wounds
- Moderate to heavy exudate
- Chronic wounds
- Acute wounds
